Abstract

The organic carbon source –xylene(C6H6-C2H4), was used to fabricate a-C:H films in plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition system. The structures and bonding configurations were characterized and compared with that of conventional methane-based samples by using Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy and Raman scattering technique. Strong room temperature luminescence in blue-green light range was found and the PL feature was quite different from that of methane-based a-C:H films.
