Abstract
Phosphorus-doped diamond-like carbon (DLC) films were deposited on quartz and p-type silicon (p-Si) substrates by pulsed-laser deposition. Open-circuit voltage (V oc) and short-circuit density (I sc/cm2) from a heating process converted from one type of electrode to another and the two types of electrode pattern are shown by the V–I characteristics. The first heating process was by a ceramic heater, and the other was by an infrared heater. We adopted two electrode patterns, from a bipectinate electrode and a plot pattern electrode, to measure electric photovoltaic characteristics. We were able to upgrade V oc and I sc/cm2 to 35∼45 mV, and 0.24 μA/cm2, respectively, under infrared heating. V oc by the plot pattern electrode was over 2 V under infrared heating and ceramic heating did not match this on deposition by the PLD method.
