The analysis of SiC films obtained by carbon ion implantation into amorphous Si (preamorphized by Ge ion implantation) has been performed by infrared and Raman scattering spectroscopies, transmission electron microscopy, Rutherford backscattering, and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The data obtained show the formation of an amorphous Si1−xCx layer on top of the amorphous Si one by successive Ge and C implantations. The fitting of the XPS spectra indicates the presence of about 70% of Si–C bonds in addition to the Si–Si and C–C ones in the implanted region, with a composition in the range 0.35
