Abstract

Nitrogenated diamond-like carbon films have been deposited on glass and p-typeSi(100) substrates by radio frequency (r.f.) plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) with a frequency of 13.56 MHz at room temperature usingCH4as precursor of carbon source andH2as a carrier gas. The deposition was performed at a different flow rate of nitrogen from 0 to 12 sccm under a constant r.f. power. The effect of nitrogen incorporation on the bonding states and growth kinetics of the deposited films have been investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and optical properties by UV spectroscopy measurement. Our experimental results show that the incorporation of nitrogen has a considerable effect on the properties of the deposited films. FTIR spectra show that the nitrogen is bonded to carbon and hydrogen asC=N,C≡N,N–HandC–Hbonding configurations in the as-deposited film. The incorporation of nitrogen is found to shift the Raman G peak toward the higher wave number and to increase the RamanID/IGratio demonstrating the graphitic character of the hydrogenated amorphous carbon–nitrogen films. Band gap is found to reduce with the increase in nitrogen concentration.
