Si-C-N thin films with tailored stoichiometries on the tie line SiC-Si3N4 have been produced by severalfold ion implantation and by a combination of RF magnetron sputtering and ion implantation, respectively. These high purity thin films have been heat treated at 1250 degrees C under high vacuum conditions using an electron beam annealing system to enable crystallisation and/or phase formation. Fourier transform infrared spectrometry as well as X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy suggests the formation of an amorphous network of mixed Si(C,N)(4) tetrahedrons for the ternary compositions and evince the crystallisation of the binary SiC and Si3N4 thin films.
