a-SiC:H diode structures with different ratios of Si:C on transparent conductive boron-doped diamond coated fused silica substrates, have been deposited by plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition. Boron-doped diamond thin films were deposited at temperature 720 °C on fused silica substrates with a Ti grid used to enhance electrical conductivity. a-SiC:H PIN diodes have been characterised by current-voltage measurements under AM1.5 illumination. For comparison, we deposited the same PIN structures on fluorine-doped tin oxide. Before deposition of the diode structures the surface morphology was studied by scanning electron microscopy, undoped layers deposited on the quartz substrates have been characterised by temperature resolved electrical resistivity, optical absorptance, Raman spectroscopy and photoluminescence.
