摘要
We prepared amorphous CNx films by a rf reactive magnetron sputtering using Ar-N-2 mixed gas and a graphite target. The nitrogen-carbon ratio x = N/C in films determined by the XPS increased from 0.48 to 0.62 as increasing the nitrogen partial pressure ratio r = p(N2)/(pN(2) + p(Ar)). Optical energy gap E-o obtained by the Tauc's plots increased from 1.4 to 1.6 eV with the nitrogen-carbon ratio x. Dangling bonds density of a-CNx was 10(18) to 10(19) cm(-3) from ESR measurement. Dc conductivity of a-CNx is very small. As irradiated Xe lamp, photoconductivity was observed. The hydrogenation of a-CNx was tried by a hydrogen-plasma treatment.
