Abstract

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