Amorphous carbon (a-C) is expected to be an excellent material for fabricating low cost and high efficiency carbon based solar cells because of its interesting properties and feasibility of band gap engineering over a wide range. The preparation of a-C thin films was carried out by using thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique. The initial phase of this work involved the deposition of a-C thin films using camphor oil as an environmentally carbon precursor. The second phase is focused on the doping process of a-C thin films with iodine (I) as p-type dopant. The studies were done to determine the optimum parameters to obtain a p-type a-C:I thin film. The deposition temperature, deposition time and gas flow rate effects on the properties of a-C thin films were analyzed in details.
