摘要: Hydrogenated amorphous carbon (a-C:H) and hydrogenated nitride (a-CNx:H) films were prepared in a custom-built radio-frequency plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (RF-PECVD) system with parallel-plate configuration. Pure methane gas mixture of nitrogen used as sources to obtain these films. The characterized using Fourier transform infrared optical transmission spectroscopy techniques. incorporation the effect annealing (100–500 °C) on film properties studied. determined be thermally stable up 300 °C. Upon above °C, thickness refractive index both a-C:H a-CNx:H increase while energy gap E04 decreases. These effects more pronounced a-CNx:H. From IR spectra, changes are considered due decreases hydrogen concentrations which result their structural modification.
