I am trying to synthesize graphitic Carbon Nitride using sputtering technique. It is very important for me to know how can it be formed. What sort of reaction takes place during formation? Is it the gas phase reaction or the surface reaction or both. Kindly help me to understand. Also suggest me some article if possible.
Dear Soumik Kumar Kundu
All the information you needed is given in the following documents. Please read it carefully:

Dear Soumik Kumar Kundu thank you very much for asking this interesting technical question. Graphitic carbon nitride has become a very popular material in recent years due to its diverse practical applications based on its photocatalytic activity. For some general information about the preparation techniques for graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) pleae have a look at the following useful review article:
Mini Review on the Structure and Properties (Photocatalysis), and Preparation Techniques of Graphitic Carbon Nitride Nano-Based Particle, and Its Applications

Fortunately this paper has been posted as public full text on RG. Thus it can be freely downloaded as pdf file.
You might also want to have a look at the following PhD thesis devoted to this topic:
