An influence of substrate temperature (TS) on film properties was analyzed. It was established that the deposited films were x-ray amorphous. The growth of the films slows down with increasing substrate temperature. The distribution of Si–C, Si–N and C–N bonds were almost independent of TS, whereas the number of С–Н, Si–H and N–H bonds essentially decreased when substrate temperature increased. The nanohardness and elastic modulus increased with TS due to a reduction of the weak hydrogen bonds. popup.nrat_date 2025-05-12 Close
