摘要
Cathodic are discharge allows deposition of hydrogen-free quaziamorphous carbon films with a aide range of properties. The amount of sp(3)-bonded fraction can be up to 80 at.%, depending on the deposition conditions. This paper presents a summary of the characterization of carbon and carbon nitride thin films prepared by the cathodic are discharge method operating in pulsed mode. The influence of the discharge parameters on the film's structure and properties is described. Partial attention is paid to the analysis of films by Raman spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy. A comparison of results for different plasma sources design is conducted. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
