Abstract
The electrical, mechanical and optical properties of silicon-carbon films obtained by electron beam evaporation of silicon carbide in an argon-oxygen gas mixture in the pressure range 3–5 Pa are presented. The electron beam was generated by a fore-vacuum plasma electron source. It is shown that with an increase in the oxygen content in the gas, the resistivity of the films increases, the hardness decreases and the optical band gap raises. Measurements of the composition and analysis of IR transmission spectra indicate the replacement of silicon-carbon bonds with silicon-oxygen bonds as the gaseous medium is enriched with oxygen.
期刊介绍:
Inorganic Materials: Applied Research contains translations of research articles devoted to applied aspects of inorganic materials. Best articles are selected from four Russian periodicals: Materialovedenie, Perspektivnye Materialy, Fizika i Khimiya Obrabotki Materialov, and Voprosy Materialovedeniya and translated into English. The journal reports recent achievements in materials science: physical and chemical bases of materials science; effects of synergism in composite materials; computer simulations; creation of new materials (including carbon-based materials and ceramics, semiconductors, superconductors, composite materials, polymers, materials for nuclear engineering, materials for aircraft and space engineering, materials for quantum electronics, materials for electronics and optoelectronics, materials for nuclear and thermonuclear power engineering, radiation-hardened materials, materials for use in medicine, etc.); analytical techniques; structure–property relationships; nanostructures and nanotechnologies; advanced technologies; use of hydrogen in structural materials; and economic and environmental issues. The journal also considers engineering issues of materials processing with plasma, high-gradient crystallization, laser technology, and ultrasonic technology. Currently the journal does not accept direct submissions, but submissions to one of the source journals is possible.
