The effect of thermal annealing on the structural properties of the films has been studied by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Both FTIR and XPS results show that the amount of the C≡N phase decreases upon annealing and that it is eliminated by annealing at 900°C. Increasing the annealing temperature leads to the formation of a more prominent peak corresponding to the tetrahedral CN bonds in the FTIR absorption spectra. XPS N 1s peaks indicate that the third component due to the C≡N bonding state is significantly weaker than the others, relatively speaking. These results reveal that annealing causes a substantial decrease in the number of weakly bound nitrogen and carbon dangling bonds. The sp3 C-N phase is stable with respect to thermal treatment at 900°C. | Source Title: | Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/96344 | ISSN: | 00223727 | DOI: | 10.1088/0022-3727/32/3/003 |
