Description

The results of experimental investigations of the electric conductivity of diamond-like carbon (DLC) films on their doping level with nitrogen are presented. Two mechanisms of electron transport through DLC films in the region of high electric fields, namely the Pool-Frenkel and Fowler-Nordheim mechanisms were revealed. The nonmonotonous dependence of the DLC film conductivity on the nitrogen doping level was observed. A model is proposed to explain the nonmonotonous dependence of the electric conductivity of DLC films on the nitrogen doping level
