Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Carbon nitride films are deposited using dc magnetron sputtering in a N2 discharge. The nature of chemical bonding of the films is investigated using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure, and X-ray emission spectroscopy. X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy spectra show that N1s binding states depend on substrate temperature, in which two pronounced peaks can be observed. The near edge X-ray absorption fine structure at C1s and N1s exhibits a similar absorption profile in the p* resonance region, but the s* resonance is sharper in the N1s spectra. Resonant N K-emission spectra show a strong dependence on excitation photo energies. Compared XPS N1s spectra with recent theoretical calculations by Johansson and Stafstrom, two main nitrogen sites are assigned in which N bound to sp3 hybridized C and sp2 hybridized C, respectively. The correlation of X-ray photoelectron, X-ray absorption, and X-ray emission spectra for N in carbon nitride films is also discussed. © 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

- Carbon nitride films are deposited on Si(001) substrates by reactive d.c. magnetron sputtering graphite in a pure N2 discharge. The chemical bonding and structure of carbon nitride films were probed using Fourier transformation infrared (FTIR) and near edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS), and the hardness was evaluated using nanoindentation experiments. The structure and hardness for the films are dependent on the substrate temperature (T(s)). FTIR and NEXAFS spectra show that N atoms are bound to sp1, sp2 and sp3 hybridized C atoms, and the intensity of p(*) resonance for C1s NEXAFS spectra is the lowest for the film grown at T(s) = 350°C, having a turbostratic-like structure, high hardness and stress. The correlation between the structure and hardness of carbon nitride films is discussed. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A.
