C{sub 3}N{sub 4} was predicted to have a crystal structure of {Beta}Si{sub 3}N{sub 4}, and a hardness superior to that of diamond, and hence become a target attracting scientists all over the world. In the present paper CN{sub x} films were successfully prepared by DC magnetron sputtering of pure graphite target in pure nitrogen atmosphere. N/C ratio and the nature of the chemical binding of C-N atoms were analyzed by SEM, TEM, XPS spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy and MPM and was found to be strongly process related.
