Abstract
In the present work, we report the growth and characterization of phosphorous doped hydrogenated amorphous silicon carbide (a-SiC: H) films deposited by filtered cathodic vacuum arc technique using solid silicon target as cathode in presence of acetylene gas. The films have been characterized by x-ray diffraction, dark conductivity, activation energy, optical band gap, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive x-ray analysis and residual stress. The effect of arc current on the properties of P doped a-SiC: H films have been studied.
