Abstract

In order to understand the fundamental charge transport in a-B4-5C:H/Si heterostructure devices, we have utilized x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to determine the valence band offset at interfaces formed by Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition of a-B4-5C:H on (100) Si. For such interfaces, we observed relatively small valence band offset values of ± 0.25 eV.
