We report the equivalent dielectric property and chemical bond structure of hydrogenated carbon nitride (a-H-CxNy) film deposited in CH4/N2 (1:2) dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma. Mass spectrum of CH4/N2 DBD plasma shows the several higher order hydrocarbons (a-H-CxNy, with x is up to 9), different functional CN groups produced in gas phase. Several N-1s, C-1s and O-1s peaks have been identified by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and it shows that the formation of C–C, C=C, and C–H bond in the film is invariant with deposition time. Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectra depict the presence of different functional including NH-OH, C≡N, CH2, CH3, C-N groups in the deposited film. Round shaped island growth has been observed at film surface area in scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Moreover, we proposed a crude assumption to estimate the equivalent dielectric constant of the film during the deposition process. The dielectric constant of a-H-CxNy film is measured (ex situ) by impedance analyzer and compared with the same obtained by Lissajous figure. The probable physical causes and importance of the results obtained are also pointed out.
