摘要
Atomic force microscopy is used to study the effects of thermal annealing on the surface topography and the tribological properties of amorphous carbon nitride thin films deposited by r.f. magnetron sputtering. The results show that the surface roughness decreases with increasing annealing temperature. The friction coefficients at the interface between a Si3N4 tip and the amorphous carbon nitride films surface decrease with increasing smoothness of the surface. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A.
