The sp3/sp2 ratio of sputtered carbon thin film depends on the ion bombardment process and tailors the physical properties of carbon thin film. In present work, we report the angular distribution of hybridization in magnetron sputtered carbon thin film for the first time. By x-ray photoelectron spectra analyses, it is found that the sp3/sp2 ratio increases linearly with increasing the deposition angle from 0 to 90 degree, which could be attributed to the enhancement of direct knocking-out of near-surface target atoms. In addition, we also derive the sp3/sp2 ratio by simulation on complex permittivity in terahertz frequency using a modified percolation approximation tunneling model. Those derived data consist with the results from x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy
