AbstractTheoretical works have indicated that carbon nitride, in a β-C4N4 phase, would have optical and mechanical properties comparable to or exceeding those of diamond. In this effort, the formation of carbon nitride thin films was investigated using a Plasma Assisted Ion Beam Deposition (PAIBD). In this technique, a C- ion beam combined with a N2 or NH3 RF plasma source is used to synthesize carbon nitride films. These films were investigated as a function of both C- ion beam energy and the power of the plasma source. The C- ion energy was found to be a key parameter in the formation of carbon nitride. The films were evaluated by a variety of diagnostic techniques including Raman, AES, XRD and FTIR. Analysis confirms high nitrogen concentration in the synthesized films and the major portion of carbon being single bonds in the sp3 bond configuration, which is a characteristic of the tetrahedral -C3N4 phase. Tribology tests confirmed that the friction coefficient and the wear rate are comparable to diamond. The results show that the higher C- ion beam energy (-150 eV) forms insulating films with the highest single bond percentages in the range studied. We believe beam energy control is critical to the types of bonds formed.

ABSTRACTThin films of carbon nitride deposited by ion beam assisted deposition or by magnetron sputter deposition typically contain a significant fraction of hydrogen, 1–30 atomic percent (at.%). In order to improve the thermal stability of the properties of the films, attempts have been made to minimize the hydrogen trapped during deposition. Such films typically have less than 5 at.% hydrogen. On heating these films in ultra high purity (99.999%) argon, it has been found that above 600°C they start to absorb significant amounts of hydrogen, this despite retaining their mechanical integrity. The composition of the films is determined using Rutherford Backscattering Spectroscopy in combination with Elastic Recoil Spectroscopy for detecting the hydrogen isotopes. In this paper, the possible sources of the hydrogen have been investigated by exposing the samples to deuterated water or deuterium gas during or immediately after the heat treatment.

ABSTRACTTitanium nitride films were prepared by reactive ion beam assisted deposition (RIBAD) with Ar+/Ti ratios ranging from 1.0 to 2.3. The compositions, phases and textures of these films were studied by AES and XRD as a function of Ar+/Ti ratio and nitrogen partial pressure. The results indicate that the IBAD titanium nitride films deposited at high Ar+/Ti ratio and low nitrogen partial pressure may have reduced nitrogen concentration, (200) preferred orientation, and possibly contain the Ti2N phase.
