Contents • Composition and Structure • Deposition • Properties • Applications • Summary
AmorphousCarbon • Electrically insulating • Chemically inert • Optically transparent • Hydrogen stabilizes the (diamond) sp3-bonding • Internal stresses • Not exactly amorphous Pierson, H.O. Handbook of Carbon, Graphite, Diamond and Fullerenes - Properties, Processing and Applications. William Andrew Publishing/Noyes. 1993. pp.337-355. ISBN: 978-0-8155-1339-1.
AmorphousCarbon • DLC films are nano- to microcrystalline • Not exactly amorphous • Called amorphous • Metastable state http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ta_C_structure.jpg
Carbonwithhydrogen • Graphite • Diamond • Polyethene • DLC
Composition and Structure • Differentcompositions • sp2 : sp3 : H → a-C : H • Si : Ti : Mo : W : Ge → carbideformers • Silicideformers → intermediateSi-layer • Nitrides • Laminatedstructures • Adhesion, loadcarrying, wear, contact, friction, chemicalproperties http://www.hefusa.net/pvd_coating/DLC-coatings.html
Deposition • Proper cleaning of the substrate required • Uniform/conformal layer wanted • Carbon (graphene) target or reactive gases e.g. methane or acetylene • DLC-coating planarizes the surface Pierson, H.O. Handbook of Carbon, Graphite, Diamond and Fullerenes - Properties, Processing and Applications. William Andrew Publishing/Noyes. 1993. pp.337-355. ISBN: 978-0-8155-1339-1.
Deposition Methods • PhysicalVapor Deposition (PVD) • The optimum energy for C+ ion beams is about 100–120 eV • Plasma-EnhancedChemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) • Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) • Filtered Cathodic Arc Plasma Accelerator Deposition (FCAPAD)
