Optical and mechanical properties of diamond like carbon films deposited by microwave ECR plasma CVD

Diamond like carbon (DLC) films were deposited on Si (111) substrates by microwave electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) plasma chemical vapour deposition (CVD) process using plasma of argon and methane gases. During deposition, a d.c. self-bias was applied to the substrates by application of 13·56 MHz rf power. DLC films deposited at three different bias voltages (−60 V, −100 V and −150 V) were characterized by FTIR, Raman spectroscopy and spectroscopic ellipsometry to study the variation in the bonding and optical properties of the deposited coatings with process parameters. The mechanical properties such as hardness and elastic modulus were measured by load depth sensing indentation technique. The DLC film deposited at −100 V bias exhibit high hardness (∼ 19 GPa), high elastic modulus (∼ 160 GPa) and high refractive index (∼ 2·16–2·26) as compared to films deposited at −60 V and −150 V substrate bias. This study clearly shows the significance of substrate bias in controlling the optical and mechanical properties of DLC films.     

Study of diamond-like carbon films on LiNbO3

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films have been successfully deposited on Y-cut LiNbO₃ substrates using the plasma enhanced CVD technique. A thin interlayer of SiC between the DLC films and the LiNbO₃ is necessary to ensure a good adhesion of the DLC films to the LiNbO₃ substrate. The physical properties and structural network of the DLC films have been investigated in detail. It is observed that the film hardness is increased with increasing the film thickness, as is the adhesion of the DLC films to the LiNbO₃ substrates. The effect of accelerating surface acoustic wave by the DLC films has been confirmed.

Ti/CN_x薄膜硬度为23.01GPa,和Ti/TiN薄膜硬度相当,略高于Ti/DLC薄膜. 溶血率和血小板粘附试验表明,Ti/CN_x梯度薄膜能有效改善NiTi合金基底的亲水性和血液相容性,与Ti/TiN和Ti/DLC薄膜相比,Ti/CN_x梯度薄膜具有最小的溶血率,仅为1.12％,并且无论在血小板的粘附数量还是在血小板变形程度都最少,因此具有良好的血液相容性.     

Coating of diamond-like carbon nanofilm on alumina by microwave plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition process

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) nanofilms with thickness varied from under one hundred to a few hundred nanometers have been successfully deposited on alumina substrates by microwave plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (MW-PECVD) process. To obtain dense continuous DLC nanofilm coating over the entire sample surface, alumina substrates were pre-treated to enhance the nucleation density. Raman spectra of DLC films on samples showed distinct diamond peak at around 1332 cm(-1), and the broad band of amorphous carbon phase at around 1550 cm(-1). Full width at half maximum height (FWHM) values indicated good formation of diamond phase in all films. The result of nano-indentation test show that the hardness of alumina samples increase from 7.3 +/- 2.0 GPa in uncoated samples to 15.8 +/- 4.5-52.2 +/- 2.1 GPa in samples coated with DLC depending on the process conditions. It is observed that the hardness values are still in good range although the thickness of the films is less than a hundred nanometer.

Adhesion studies of diamond-like carbon films deposited on Ti6Al4V substrate with a silicon interlayer

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films have proven quite advantageous in many tribological applications due to their low friction coefficient, their extreme hardness, and more recently their high adherence on different substrate materials. However, for many applications, DLC films as thick as 2 μm are required, which cause high residual stress. In order to overcome this problem, this study observed the behavior of different thicknesses of silicon interlayer between DLC films and Ti6Al4V substrates. The study also analyzed the relation of growth parameters to the mechanical properties of DLC films. Silicon and DLC films were grown by using a rf-PECVD at 13.56 MHz with silane and methane atmospheres, respectively. The contribution of an interlayer thickness to the adhesion between the DLC films and Ti6Al4V substrate was evaluated by using a micro-scratch technique. The hardness and friction coefficient were evaluated by using microindentation and lateral force microscopy (LFM), respectively. Raman scattering spectroscopy was used to characterize the film quality. A correlation was found between the intrinsic stress and adhesion of DLC film and the parameters of the silicon interlayer growth. The addition of a silicon interlayer successfully reduced intrinsic stress of the films, even as measured by using a perfilometry technique.

Structure, mechanical and tribological properties of diamond-like carbon films on aluminum alloy by arc ion plating

The low hardness and poor tribological performance of aluminum alloys restrict their engineering applications. However, protective hard films deposited on aluminum alloys are believed to be effective for overcoming their poor wear properties. In this paper, diamond-like carbon (DLC) films as hard protective film were deposited on 2024 aluminum alloy by arc ion plating. The dependence of the chemical state and microstructure of the films on substrate bias voltage was analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy. The mechanical and tribological properties of the DLC films deposited on aluminum alloy were investigated by nanoindentation and ball-on-disk tribotester, respectively. The results show that the deposited DLC films were very well-adhered to the aluminum alloy substrate, with no cracks or delamination being observed. A maximum sp³ content of about 37% was obtained at −100 V substrate bias, resulting in a hardness of 30 GPa and elastic modulus of 280 GPa. Thus, the surface hardness and wear resistance of 2024 aluminum alloy can be significantly improved by applying a protective DLC film coating. The DLC-coated aluminum alloy showed a stable and relatively low friction coefficient, as well as narrower and shallower wear tracks in comparison with the uncoated aluminum alloy.
