Abstract
Neutron reflectivity measurements have been used to study the thickness and composition of amorphous carbon films. Comparison of films made by deposition from CH4 and CD4 doped argon plasmas has enabled the hydrogen content to be determined. Variation in the plasma conditions were found to give a range of x (where the empirical formula is CHx) from 0.4 to 0.7.
