Methods and systems for fabricating a film, such as, for example, a photocathode, having a tailored band structure and thin-film components that can be tailored for specific applications, such as, for example photocathode having a high quantum efficiency, and simple components fabricated by those methods.

Alkali semi-metal films and method and apparatus for fabricating them

Technologies are described for methods for fabricating a film component. The methods may comprise sputtering a first film onto a substrate. The first film may include a semiconductor compound material. The semiconductor compound material may include a semi-metal material and one or more alkali material. The methods may further comprise evaporating a second film onto the first film. The second film may include the one or more alkali materials. The one or more alkali materials may catalyze crystallization of the semiconductor compound material in the first film substantially throughout the first film to form the film component in the first layer.

Photocathode and method for assembly

A method of forming electrical contacts on a diamond substrate comprises producing a plasma ball using a microwave plasma source in the presence of a mixture of gases. The mixture of gases include a source of a p-type or an n-type dopant. The plasma ball is disposed at a first distance from the diamond substrate. The diamond substrate is maintained at a first temperature. The plasma ball is maintained at the first distance from the diamond substrate for a first time, and a UNCD film, which is doped with at least one of a p-type dopant and an n-type dopant, is disposed on the diamond substrate. The doped UNCD film is patterned to define UNCD electrical contacts on the diamond substrate.
