A carbon film deposited on porous silicon in nitrogen plasma has been
investigated by XPS. The presence of different carbon-nitrogen bonds i
n the whole carbonitride layer has been established. Irrespective of t
he low percentage of nitrogen (about 6%), it is found to participate i
n cyanide groups, bonds characteristic of beta-C3N4 as well as in C-N
and C=N bonds. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
