Abstract

Nitrogen-doped diamond-like carbon (N-DLC) films were synthesized by thermal chemical vapor deposition technique by varying the nitrogen flow rate at a constant C2H2 flow. The influence of nitrogen incorporation on the microstructure and structural electronic properties of N-DLC films were investigated by Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS). SEM images reveal the DLC nanoparticles formation and carbon nanowires formations for 70 and 130, sccm nitrogen flow rate respectively. The Raman spectra of N-DLC investigated D and G peaks at 1300 and 1600, cm−1 respectively. X-ray diffraction of N-DLC indicated the crystallite sizes 1.74 and 8.78, nm at different peak position. Due to nitrogen incorporation in DLC thin films the core orbital spectra of C(1s) shifted from 284 to 286, eV for nitrogen flow increased from 70 to 130, sccm. In the present paper, an attempt has been made to synthesize nitrogen incorporated DLC films using thermal chemical vapor deposition technique to study their structural and microstructural properties.
