Carbon films prepared by plasma deposition using a graphite cathode

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

Amorphous carbon thick films were deposited at a rate of 0.2-0.5 μm/min on alumina by DC arc plasma deposition using a graphite cathode. By adjusting the deposition conditions, particularly the substrate position in the deposition chamber, the resulting film had an electrical resistivity ranging from 10-4 to 108 Ω.cm. For films of resistivity 108 Ω.cm, (i) the Knoop microhardness reached 2900 Kg/mm2, (ii) Raman scattering revealed a diamond peak at 1330 cm-1, and (iii) the films were not affected by immersion in aqua regia for 10 min. The corrosion resistance, hardness and density increased with increasing electrical resistivity, whereas the oxidation resistance decreased with increasing resistivity.
