![عکس صفحه اول مقاله: Temperature effect on bonding structures of amorphous carbon containing more than 30at.% silicon Temperature effect on bonding structures of amorphous carbon containing more than 30at.% silicon](/preview/png/703629.png)
Bonding evolution of amorphous carbon incorporated with Si or a-C(Si) in a thermal process has not been studied. Unhydrogenated a-C(Si) films were deposited by magnetron sputtering to undergo two different thermal processes: i) sputter deposition at substrate temperatures from 100 to 500 °C; ii) room temperature deposition followed by annealing at 200 to 1000 °C. The hardness of the films deposited at high temperature exhibits a monotonic decrease whereas the films deposited at room temperature maintained their hardness until 600 °C. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy were used to analyze the composition and bonding structures. It was established that the change in the mechanical property is closely related to the atomic bonding structures, their relative fractions and the evolution (conversion from C–C sp3 → CC sp2 or CC sp2 → C–Si sp3) as well as clustering of sp2 structures.
