Abstract
A systematic X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) investigation on silicon-carbon-nitride (Si-C-N) nano-composite thin films deposited at varying deposition parameters has been carried out. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses revealed the presence of C-N and Si-N bonds in the harder films. The hardness of the film was found to vary within the range similar to 2400 to 3300 Hv. The harder film had higher C-N/Si-N intensity ratio confirming that C-N bond formations contribute in increasing hardness value.
