Abstract

We report on the efficient photoluminescence (PL) and optical properties of hydrogenated amorphous carbon thin films codoped with nitrogen and trimethylboron (TMB) grown by rf plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition at room temperature. The study clearly shows the observation of discrete PL emission peaks. The PL intensity of the film deposited with 20 sccm TMB is more than 10³ times than that of the film deposited without TMB. The change of optical bandgap and PL emission energy with TMB flow rate are discussed based on sp³ and sp² C networks. Angular dependence of the PL spectra revealed that the origin of multiple sharp peaks is due to Fabry-Perot cavity interference effect.
