摘要: 在微波等离子体化学气相沉积系统中,利用脉冲氮离子束溅射二氰二氨靶产生的碳氮粒子作为合成前驱物,在石英玻璃基片上研究了SiCN晶体的合成。用扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、X射线能谱(EDX)、X射线衍射(XRD)和X射线光电子能谱(XPS)研究了基片温度对薄膜的形貌、成分和结构的影响。结果表明:随着基片温度的降低,沉积物由截面为六方形的结晶良好的SiCN晶体(800 ℃)变成发育不完全的聚片状晶体(700 ℃),直到变成颗粒细小的无定形碳氮薄膜(550 ℃)。衍射峰的强度以及晶胞参数a和c的值随温度的降低而减小。薄膜为C原子部分取代Si3N4中的Si原子位置而形成的SiCN晶体,其中N原子主要与Si原子结合,C原子以sp3C—N、sp2C=N和sp2C=C键的形式存在。降低基片温度有利于提高薄膜中的C含量和sp3C—N键的含量Abstract: Crystalline silicon carbon nitrides were synthesized on quartz glass substrates by microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition, using precursors produced from a pulsed nitrogen ion beam sputtering dicyandiamide target. The effects of deposition temperature on the morphology, composition and structure of the samples were investigated by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray, X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It is found that the surface morphologies of the deposits change from well crystallized hexagonal crystals at 800 ℃ to semi-developed multi-sheet crystals at 700 ℃ and to an amorphous solid with small grains at 550 ℃. The intensity of the diffraction peaks decreases and the values of the cell parameters a and c increase with the deposition temperature. The as-prepared crystalline films are silicon carbonitride with the crystalline structure of Si3N4 modified by replacing some of the Si atoms with C atoms. The N atoms are mainly bonded to Si, and C atoms are in the form of sp3C—N, sp2C=N and sp2C=C bonds. Decreasing deposition temperature favors an increase of C atom content and sp3C—N bond fraction.
