ABSTRACTMass-selected ion-beam deposition using 120 eV C+ ions has been used to grow a carbon film on a Si substrate held at 200° C. The structure of the film has been characterized by transmission electron microscopy and electron energy loss spectroscopy. The film is graphitic and highly oriented with the c-axis lying parallel to the substrate. Moreover, the film is under significant biaxial stress such that the graphitic layer spacing is reduced by 4% from that of ambient pressure graphite. This oriented structure evolves due to the mobility of the carbon atoms at 200 °C. The material is sufficiently crystalline on the nanometer scale so as to produce Bragg diffraction discs in a convergent beam electron diffraction pattern using a 2.5 nm probe.

ABSTRACTMass analyzed and non-mass analyzed carbon ion beams were used to deposit coatings on polished silicon wafers. Extremely, hard dense coatings that are structurally similar to i-carbon as determined by Ramon spectroscopy were achieved with high current beams of methane and argon. Residual contaminants of oxygen and nitrogen were minimized.

Nanocrystalline diamond has been synthesized on a mirror-polished Si(001) substrate by means of direct ion beam deposition. Low-energy (80–200 eV) hydrocarbon and hydrogen ions, generated in a Kaufman ion source, were used to bombard the substrates. The bombarded samples were characterized by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. Nanocrystalline diamond particles of random orientation were observed in a matrix of amorphous carbon film on the Si(001) substrate. The size of the nanocrystalline diamond particles varied in the range of 50–300 Å. The mechanism of ion-induced formation of nanocrystalline diamond is discussed.

AbstractThe sputter losses during growth of carbon nitride thin films using mass selected ion beam deposition of C+ and N+ ions with energies between 20 eV and 500 eV are studied. Depending on the ion energy 35 – 100 % of C+ but only 3 – 35 % of N+ ions are incorporated in the films. Thus the films are always strongly nitrogen-deficient. To suppress the preferential loss of nitrogen we introduce the concept of continuously growing surface protective layers. Starting from a diamond-like carbon film as substrate, carbon nitride films are deposited using 100 eV 12C+ and 1 keV 14N+ ions, so that the growing films are always covered with a 1–2 rm thick protective layer of amorphous carbon. In this case we observe an increased nitrogen incorporation yielding to films with average film composition of C2N.
