AbstractA series of hydrogenated amorphous germanium‐nitrogen (a‐GeN:H) alloys have been synthesized by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition. The structure and its thermal stability have been investigated by means of Raman Scattering and Fourier Transform Infrared techniques. It was found that the structure is changed from Ge‐Ge‐like to Ge‐N‐like when the nitrogen content x in a‐Ge1‐xNx:H is larger than 0.3. Some a‐GeN:H alloys were annealed for 30min at different temperature and it is shown that the film structural stability is significantly improved compared with pure a‐Ge:H film.

Nitrogen incorporated hydrogenated amorphous carbon (a-C:N:H) thin films have been deposited by microwave surface-wave plasma chemical vapor deposition on silicon and quartz substrates, using helium, methane and nitrogen ( N 2) as plasma source. The deposited a-C:N:H films were characterized by their optical, structural and electrical properties through UV/VIS/NIR spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, atomic force microscope and current-voltage characteristics. The optical band gap decreased gently from 3.0 eV to 2.5 eV with increasing N 2 concentration in the films. The a-C:N:H film shows significantly higher electrical conductivity compared to that of N 2-free a-C:H film.
