Abstract
The deposition of nitrogen-containing carbon films on silicon substrates at atmospheric pressure and low temperature has been carried out by electroly sis of methanol and ammonia solutions. Amorphous carbon films containing ab out 8% nitrogen were obtained. The observed CN vibration bonds by Raman and FTIR spectroscopy and the chemical states by XPS of C and N atoms indicate that the carbon and nitrogen are sp(2) and sp(3) chemically bonded in the films. Schemes for film growth in the liquid phase were suggested. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
