Structures and properties of fluorinated amorphous carbon films

Abstract

Fluorinated amorphous carbon (a-C:F) films were deposited by radio frequency bias assisted microwave plasma electron cyclotron resonance chemical vapor deposition with tetrafluoromethane (CF{sub 4}) and acetylene (C{sub 2}H{sub 2}) as precursors. The deposition process was performed at two flow ratios R=0.90 and R=0.97, where R=CF{sub 4}/(CF{sub 4}+C{sub 2}H{sub 2}). The samples were annealed at 300 deg. C for 30 min. in a N{sub 2} atmosphere. Both Fourier transform infrared and electron spectroscopy for chemical analyzer were used to characterize the a-C:F film chemical bond and fluorine concentration, respectively. A high resolution electron energy loss spectrometer was applied to detect the electronic structure. The higher CF{sub 4} flow ratio (R=0.97) produced more sp{sup 3} linear structure, and it made the a-C:F film smoother and softer. A lifetime of around 0.34 {mu}s and an energy gap of {approx}2.75 eV were observed in both the as-deposited and after annealing conditions. The short carriers lifetime in the a-C:F film made the photoluminescence peak blueshift. The annealing changed both the structure and composition of the a-C:F film. The type of fluorocarbon bond and electronic structure characterized the mechanical and physical properties of a-C:F film.
