Lk. Cheah et al., DEPOSITION OF NITROGEN-DOPED TETRAHEDRAL AMORPHOUS-CARBON (TA-C-N) FILMS BY ION-BEAM-ASSISTED FILTERED CATHODIC VACUUM-ARC, Electronics Letters, 33(15), 1997, pp. 1339-1340
An alternative approach to deposit ta-C:N films by ion assisted filter
ed cathodic vacuum are (IAFCVA) is presented and compared with ta-C fi
lms prepared by FCVA under nitrogen partial pressure. The electronic p
roperties are strongly dependent on nitrogen partial pressure for both
methods although the efficiency of doping is higher for IAFCVA.
