Diamond-like Carbon Films Deposited by Hydrocarbon Plasma Sources
نویسندگان
چکیده
Diamond-like carbon deposition techniques, characterization techniques and processing parameters, such as gas ratio, bias voltage, gas pressure, type of precursor gas used, temperature, gas total flow, substrate material, among others are reviewed. Mostly silicon substrates have been employed, but also metallic materials such as titanium and aluminum alloys or steels have been used as well. Improvements of films properties, specially the adhesion, were carried out through doping of the film, during or after deposition.

Protective diamond-like carbon coatings for future optical storage disks
Diamond-like carbon (DLC) is a promising protective coating for future optical storage technologies. The requirements place conflicting constraints on the nature of the DLC. It must be transparent at 400 nm, hard and wear-resistant, uniform, pinhole-free, have a low stress and be deposited at high rate without a high heat load on a plastic substrate. In order to optimise the films under these c...

متن کاملExploring the potential of high power impulse magnetron sputtering for growth of diamond-like carbon films
Amorphous carbon films are deposited employing high power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) at pulsing frequencies of 250 Hz and 1 kHz. Films are also deposited by direct current magnetron sputtering (dcMS), for reference. In both HiPIMS and dcMS cases, unipolar pulsed negative bias voltages up to 150 V are applied to the substrate to tune the energy of the positively charged ions that bomb...
متن کاملDeposition of Diamond-like Carbon films using Dense Plasma Focus
Diamond Like Carbon (DLC) films were deposited on quartz substrates using Dense Plasma Focus (DPF) method. The formation of sp bonds as is it’s content in the film strongly depends on the substrate and it seems quartz is not a suitable substrate. However, we report here the formation of DLC films on quartz substrates that were maintained at elevated temperatures and show the content of carbon a...
