The failure regions during sliding nano indentation of technologically important SiCN thin films resembled geometrical shapes of Lemniscate and cardiod. An adhesive strength of 9 GPa was estimated. The failure followed two different stress regimes, one tangential responsible for the wear and the other axial responsible for the film/substrate adhesion. EDS spectra of the scratched region shown complete adhesive failure. Keywords: sliding naation, SiCN thin films, adhesive strength
