Silicon carbonitride (SiCN) films were prepared by means of reactive magnetron sputtering of a sintered SiC target on n-type Si (1 0 0) substrates in the reactant gas of nitrogen, and then the films were respectively annealed at 600, 800 and 1100 °C for 5 min in nitrogen ambient. The films were characterized by energy dispersive spectrometer, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and photoluminescence (PL) spectrophotometry. Intense PL peaks at 370, 400 and 440 nm were observed at room temperature. The results show that annealing temperature and composition play an important role in the structures and PL properties of the films. The annealing temperature of 600 °C favors the formation of the SiC (1 0 9) crystal in the SiCN films, and results in a maximal PL peak. The intensity of the 440 nm PL peak can be improved by increasing the abundance of the Si–C bond.
