摘要: Abstract Amorphous Si1−xCx films, with x ranging from 0.54 to 0.71 and low hydrogen content (less than 5%) were grown by high-energy hydrocarbon ion beam deposition on silicon wafers. The resulting films studied using XPS, AES, EELS Raman spectroscopies. As increases there is a higher number of C atoms in sp2 sites, showing that for high carbon concentrations the bonding character function Si/C relative films. Films annealed at different temperatures XPS spectroscopies; no evidence complete graphitization up 900°C. It concluded presence Si their thermal stability.
