“…BCN is distinguished not only by the fact that its composition can be tuned using various synthesizing processes but also because each BCN composition has its own set of properties. This has drawn widespread attention in both academia and industry, paving the way for BCN uses in electrical (transistor, capacitor, photodetector) [26][27][28], optical (UV detector) [29], and mechanical (low friction coefficient, excellent wear resistance, and high hardness, making it useful for protective antiwear coating) applications [30,31]. BCN nanomaterials have been used effectively for water treatment because of their excellent adsorption abilities.…”

Boron carbonitride (BCN) films containing hybridized bonds involving B, C, and N over wide compositional ranges enable an abundant variety of new materials, properties, and applications; however, their electronic performance is still limited by the presence of structural and electronic defects, yielding sluggish mobility and electrical conductivity. This work reports on mechanically stable BCN films and their corresponding optical and electronic properties. The ternary BCN films consisting of hybridized B–C–N bonds have been achieved by varying N2 flow by the radio frequency magnetron sputtering method. The BCN films show a bandgap value ranging from 3.32 to 3.82 eV. Hall effect measurements reveal an n-type conductivity with an improved hall mobility of 226 cm2/V s at room temperature for the optimal film. The n-BCN/p-Si heterojunctions exhibit a nonlinear rectifying characteristic, where the tunneling behavior dominates the injection regimes due to the density of defects, i.e., structural disorder and impurities. Our work demonstrates the tunable electrical properties of BCN/Si p–n diodes and, thus, is beneficial for the potential application in the fields of optics, optoelectronics, and electrics.
