Abstract
The thin films of silicon carbonitride were synthesised by remote plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition at low pressure (10-2-10-1 Torr) and low temperatures (473-773 K). Hexamethyldisilazane (Si2NH(CH3)6) was used as a volatile single-source precursor. Helium was used as a dilution gas. The thickness, optical characteristics, element contents, types of chemical bonds, crystalline structure, phase composition and microhardness of these films were investigated in dependence on the growth conditions.
