Abstract

Large area (the order of centimeters), flexible thin films of amorphous carbon were prepared on copper foils by an ethanol flame synthesis method. The carbon films exhibit high transmittance in the visible and near infrared range (up to 90% at 550 nm). Schottky diodes formed by combining the carbon films with n-type silicon wafers show high on/off ratio (up to 150) photocurrents at air-mass 1.5 and illumination intensity of 100 mW/cm2.
