Properties of amorphous carbon thin films for solar cell application / Norhafizan Mohd Hanib

This thesis is presented the research on properties of amorphous carbon (a-C) thin films for solar cell application. Amorphous carbon thin films have been deposited on silicon substrate by thermal chemical vapor deposition (Thermal-CVD) method at various deposition temperatures. The surface morpholo...
