摘要
An exhaustive study of optical emission from a nitrogen are produced by an are-heated beam source is reported. Atomic nitrogen emission lines in the spectral region provide unequivocal evidence that the are-heated beam source generates an appreciable flux of nitrogen atoms. Experimental results show that the ratio of [N] to N-2 increased as the are pressure decreased. it is believed that this is because of the reduced probability of recombination of [N] atoms. Using this are-heated beam source for pulsed laser deposition (PLD) film growth, we have synthesized carbon nitride and other nitride films with a high nitrogen content. AES and XPS results indicate that composition ratios ([N]/[C]) in the deposited films were between 0.2 and 0.6. It has been considered that [N] atoms, rather than N-2 molecules in the are, are the most likely species responsible for the synthesis of nitride films.
