摘要
The optical and electrical properties of so-called carbon nitride films (a-C:N) and boron doped so-called carbon nitride films (a-C:N:B) are studied with cathodoluminescence (CL) spectroscopy and electron field emission measurement. The a-C:N films were first deposited on Si by a filtered cathodic arc plasma system, and then boron ions (similar to1 x 10(16) cm(-2)) were implanted into the a-C:N films to form a-C:N:B films by a medium current implanter. The structural and morphological properties of a-C:N and a-C:N:B films were then analyzed using secondary ion mass spectrometer, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, FT-IR spectra, Raman spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy. The a-C:N film exhibits luminescence of blue light (similar to2.67 eV) and red light (similar to1.91 eV), and the a-C:N:B film displays luminescence of blue light (similar to2.67 eV) in CL spectra measured at 300 K. Furthermore, the incorporated boron atoms change the electron field emission property, which shows a higher turn on field for the a-C:N:B film (3.6 V/mum) than that for the a-C:N film (2.8 V/mum).
