ABSTRACTThe bonding in a series of unhydrogenated amorphous carbon films has been analysed quantitatively using Raman spectroscopy with ultraviolet excitation. The Raman spectra exhibit two broad Raman peaks at 1650 cm−1 and 1100 cm−1, due to sp2 and sp3 vibrational modes respectively. The former is a resonance feature associated with a large proportion of paired sp2 sites, while the latter is a weighted vibrational density-of-states for the distorted random network of sp3 sites. The position and relative intensity of the two peaks are shown to be strongly correlated with the percentage of sp3 sites in the films, providing a reliable measure of sp3 bonding which is both quantitative and non-destructive.

AbstractWe investigated the deposition, structure and mechanical properties of a-C:H films grown in Ar-CH4 mixtures with the Ar partial pressure ranging from 0 to 99 %. The deposition rate strongly decreased with progressive Ar dilution of the CH4 atmosphere. Films deposited in pure CH4 atmospheres have a hydrogen content of 20 at.% that showed a trend to decrease for lower CH4 partial pressures, while the density remained nearly constant at around 1.4x1023 at./cm3. Raman spectroscopy and x-ray diffraction revealed the amorphous character of the films. The compressive internal stress remained constant around 2.5 GPa and the hardness decreases for Ar rich precursor atmospheres.
