Growth of carbon films and surface erosion during irradiation of quartz (SiO$_{2}$) by accelerated C$_{60}$-ion beams with energies in the range of 2.5—10 keV at a target temperature of 373 K are investigated. As found, the growth of carbon films on the surface of the irradiated targets of SiO$_{2}$ is observed in the range of ion energies of 2.5—3.75 keV. In this case, carbon deposition rate is limited by the process of erosion of the growth surface, the intensity of which depends on the energy of the ions. When the ion energy is higher than the upper values of these intervals, the film is not formed on the surface, and erosion of the target material takes place. The possibility of both removing of the amorphous oxide from the surface of Si substrate and forming of an epitaxial silicon carbide thereon is shown.
Key words: structure of films, sputtering of surface, energy of ion, quartz, fullerene.
