Abstract

Carbon nitride films raise current interest for their potential applications as ultra-hard materials. We report on the formation of crystalline CN structures in films deposited at 248 nm on different substrates (sapphire, quartz, alumina) using the laser-induced CVD method and a gas mixture containing ethylene/nitrous oxide and ammonia as carbon and nitrogen source, respectively. The structural and morphological properties of the films were characterized by different analytical techniques (SEM, TEM, TED and XPS).
