摘要
We have deposited boronated highly tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C:B) films with low stress using a filtered cathodic vacuum are. The sp(3) fraction, hardness, and resistivity were measured as a function of the ion energy and were found to reach a maximum above 50 eV for B concentrations of 2%, and 4%. The most significant result we found was that highly tetrahedral a-C:B film (sp(3) approximate to 80%) with low stress (1-3 GPa) with B concentrations up to 4% could be obtained, The B in the films was found to be predominantly (approximate to 75%) sp(2) bonded, Additionally, the stress in the films did not vary with the ion energy or sp(3) fraction unlike in regular ta-C films.
