AbstractUsing a newly developed ion beam apparatus, PANDA (Positive And Negative ions Deposition Apparatus), carbon nitride films were prepared by simultaneous deposition of mass-analyzed low energy positive and negative ions such as C2-, N+, under ultra high vacuum conditions, in the order of 10−6 Pa on silicon wafer. The ion energy was varied from 50 to 400 eV. The film properties as a function of their beam energy were evaluated by Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry (RBS), Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Raman scattering. From the results, it is suggested that the C-N triple bond contents in films depends on nitrogen ion energy.
