Abstract

We have tried to prepare amorphous carbon oxynitrides (a-CNxOy)films by the oxygen radical treatment (ORT) of amorphous carbon nitrides (a-CNx) and also by the layer-by-layer method. Properties of a-CNxOy films were studied with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), photothermal deflection spectroscopy (PDS), ultraviolet-visible (UV-VIS) optical transmittance spectra, Raman spectra and electron spin resonance (ESR). Oxygen radical affects to a-CNx by etching, termination of defects and oxidation. A-CNxOy films are interesting for the application to luminescent materials and also to low dielectric consta nt materials.
