ABSTRACTHydrogenated and nonhydrogenated nitrogen containing diamondlike carbon films (NDLC including a-C:N and a-C:N:H) were made in a dual ion beam deposition system. The asdeposited films were characterized by Raman spectroscopy, Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy (RBS) and elastic recoil detection analysis (ERD). The compositional stability of the films at temperatures up to 550°C was examined in situ by both RBS and ERD using a heated sample stage in the scattering chamber. The addition of nitrogen altered the Raman parameters when compared with conventional DLC. At elevated temperatures, the a-C:N films do not suffer nitrogen loss; however, the a-C:N:H films undergo nitrogen and hydrogen loss at 400°C.

Ion beam deposition provides an additional control of ion beam energy over the chemical vapor deposition methods. We have used a low energy ion beam of hydrogen and carbon to deposit carbon films on Si(100) wafers. We found that graphitic films, amorphous carbon films, and oriented diamond microcrystallites could be obtained separatedly at different ion beam energies. The mechanism of the formation of the oriented diamond microcrystallites was suggested to include three components: strain release after ion bombardment, hydrogen passivation of sp3 carbon, and hydrogen etching. Such a process can be extended to the heteroepitaxial growth of diamond films.

ABSTRACTCarbon films were deposited on silicon, quartz, and potassium bromide substrates from an ion beam. Growth rates were approximately 0.3 μm/hour. The films were featureless and amorphous and contained only carbon and hydrogen in significant amounts. The density and carbon/hydrogen ratio indicate the film is a hydrogen deficient polymer. One possible structure, consistent with the data, is a random network of methylene linkages and tetrahedrally coordinated carbon atoms.
