Abstract

The SiCN films obtained by PECVD (plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition) with hexamethyldisilazane (HMDSN) as a precursor were researched . The effect of additional nitrogen in the reaction chamber on the properties of the films was investigated. The films were characterized by using infrared spectroscopy and photoluminescence spectra. Also the mechanical properties of films, namely nanohargness and modulus of elasticity depending on the flow of nitrogen were studied.
