摘要: Abstract Carbon nitride thin films were deposited on Si(1 0 0) substrate by microwave plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). Hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA) was used as carbon and nitrogen source while N2 gas both carrier gas. The sp3-bonded CN structure in HMTA considered significantly the precursor selection. X-ray diffraction analysis indicated that film a mixture of crystalline α- β-C3N4 well graphitic-C3N4 β-Si3N4 which not easily distinguished. Raman spectroscopy also suggested existence films. photoelectron study presence sp2- structures sp3CN bonding predominated to sp2 bulk composition N found be bound Si atoms product was, therefore, described CNx:Si, where x depends depth, with some evidences C3N4 formation.
