Abstract

Crystalline 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.
