Effects of Nitrogen on Formation and Properties of Diamondlike Films Synthesized by Dual Ion Beam Deposition
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 February 2011
Abstract
Diamondlike carbon-nitrogen films on silicon (111) wafer and tungsten carbide plates have been prepared by using dual ion beam sputtering deposition and simultaneous bombardment by N+ with energies of 100-800 eV at room temperature. These films retain their diamondlike characteristics. However, as the nitrogen content increases from 10% at to 20% at., the Auger electron spectroscopy spectra of films change obviously in fine structure and the main Cls peak of carbon atoms in the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy spectra shifts to 285.65 eV. The maximum hardness of these films on tungsten carbide plates is about 5260 kg/mm2. The films have an amorphous structure and smooth surface. The state of nitrogen in films and its influence on the structure and properties of films are discussed.
