In this paper strong experimental evidence is presented suggesting that we have synthesized the β‐C 3 N 4 phase. This is a material predicted by theory to have comparable property to diamond. The films containing mixed‐phase crystalline β‐C 3 N 4 and c‐BN were deposited on steel substrate Ck 35 by a hot filament assisted r. f. plasma CVD method using organo‐metallic precursor. The crystal structure of these mixed‐phases was identified by X‐ray diffraction (XRD) as well as transmission electron diffraction analysis (TED).
