AbstractCrystalline carbon nitride films were deposited by electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) plasma sputtering method using a carbon target and a nitrogen gas atmosphere. The deposited films were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Nitrogen content of the deposited film was varied with substrate selfbias potential and substrate temperature. Bonding states of nitrogen and carbon in the deposited filns were different according to the substrate temperature, sp3 C-N bonds were observed for the film deposited at 600 °C. Crystallization of carbon nitride thin film was observed hen the deposition was carried out an elevated substrate temperature.

The Stability

ABSTRACTThe incorporation of hydrogen into silicon nitride films grown downstream from an electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) plasma decreased rapidly with increasing substrate temperature (100–600°C). Fourier transform infra-red (FTIR) spectroscopy showed that the hydrogen in the as-grown material was primarily bonded to nitrogen. However, an applied bias of -200 V caused an increase in the number of Si-H bonds relative to N-H bonds, as a result of increased ion-beam damage. In addition, ion irradiation of an as-grown film with 175 keV Ar+ at room temperature showed that H transferred from N-H bonds to Si-H bonds without a loss of H. Elastic recoil detection (ERD) and FTIR of thermally annealed films showed that the stability of H incorporated during deposition increased with deposition temperature, and that the N-H bond was more stable than the Si-H bond above 700°C. Deuterium plasma treatments, at 600°C, of annealed films caused isotopic substitution with a conservation of bonds. Therefore, hydrogen loss from annealed films is apparently accompanied by a reduction in dangling bonds.
