Abstract

Carbon nitride films with ${\beta}-C_3N_4$ crystals were grown by rf reactive magnetron sputtering system with negative DC bias. Chamber baking system to supply whole chamber with activation energy was used to reduce the contamination of H and O atoms. XRD peaks showed the existence of crystalline ${\beta}-C_3N_4$(200) and lonsdaleite structures. FTIR spectroscopy studies revealed that the film contain ${\alpha}-C_3N_4$ and ${\beta}-C_3N_4$ with $1011\;cm^{-1},\;1257\;cm^{-1}\;and\;1529\;cm^{-1}$ peaks. We could also find the grain growth of hexagonal structure from SEM photograph, which is coincident with the theoretical carbon nitride unit cell. ${\alpha}$-step was used to make the thickness profile of the grown films.
