The optical properties of thin films of silicon carbide prepared by th
e implantation of C2H2+ ions into silicon evaporated onto a sapphire s
ubstrate and subsequently annealed at three different temperatures, 50
0, 600 and 800 degrees C have been studied using spectrophotometry. Th
e real and imaginary parts of the dielectric constant show systematic
variations which can be attributed to the degree of amorphisation whic
h is in turn related to the annealing temperature.
