ABSTRACTWe have studied the local structure of hydrogenated amorphous silicon-carbon alloy films, a-Si1−xCx:H, by measuring the extended x-ray absorption fine-structure (EXAFS) at the Si K edge.We find that first coordination shell average bond lengths are 2.35 Å for Si-Si and 1.86 Å for Si-C and are constant with concentration to within × 0.015 Å.By comparing the composition of the first coordination shell around Si with the average concentration we show that the alloy tends to be chemically ordered, in that heteroatomic bonds are preferred.

ABSTRACTHydrogenated amorphous silicon-carbon alloys, a-Si:C:H, have been deposited as thin films (d=0.1-0.5 micron) on crystalline silicon substrates from a capacitively coupled rf discharge in silane-propane mixtures. Variations in the stoichiometry of the films were achieved by altering the ratio of SiH4 to C3H8 flow rates at a sbstrate temperature in the range 240-260°C and total pressure between 30-70 mtorr. The silicon to carbon ratios were established by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, XPS, and the hydrogen content and distribution by infra-red spectroscopy.

The atomic bonding configuration of ultrananocrystalline diamond (UNCD)/hydrogenated amorphous carbon (a-C:H) films prepared by pulsed laser ablation of graphite in a hydrogen atmosphere was examined by near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy. The measured spectra were decomposed with simple component spectra, and they were analyzed in detail. As compared to the a-C:H films deposited at room substrate-temperature, the UNCD/a-C:H and nonhydrogenated amorphous carbon (a-C) films deposited at a substrate-temperature of exhibited enhanced and peaks. At the elevated substrate-temperature, the and bonds formation is enhanced while the C–H and C–C bonds formation is suppressed. The UNCD/a-C:H film showed a larger C–C peak than the a-C film deposited at the same elevated substrate-temperature in vacuum. We believe that the intense C–C peak is evidently responsible for UNCD crystallites existence in the film.
