Abstract

Laser assisted methods such as laser physical vapor deposition (LPVD) and laser induced chemical vapor deposition (LCVD) have been utilized to grow carbon nitride (CNx) films on various substrates. It has been shown that the both techniques produce good quality thin films of CNx. In LPVD, a laser beam (λ= 248 nm) has been used to ablate the pyrolytic graphite target in nitrogen atmosphere, where as CO2 laser was to irradiate carbon-nitrogen containing mixtures such as C2H2/N2O/NH3 in LCVD method. A comparative analysis will be presented in terms of structural properties of CNx films prepared by both techniques.
