Abstract

Plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposited boron carbide (B1-xCx) thin films are shown to be a potential electronic material suitable for high temperature devices. The boron carbide films make excellent p-n heteroj unction diodes with /i-type silicon substrates. The B1-xCx/Si heteroj unction diodes are demonstrated to have rectifying properties at temperatures above 200°C and reverse current is strongly dependent on the energy of the band gap of the boron carbide films.
