摘要
Platinum/ruthenium/nitrogen doped diamond-like carbon (PtRuN-DLC) thin films were deposited on conductive p-Si substrates using a DC magnetron sputtering deposition system by varying carbon sputtering power. The chemical composition, bonding structure, surface morphology and adhesion strength of the PtRuN-DLC films were investigated using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), micro-Raman spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM), and micro-scratch test, respectively. The corrosion behavior of the PtRuN-DLC films in a 0.1 M NaCl solution was investigated using potentiodynamic polarization test. The corrosion results indicated that the corrosion resistance of the PtRuN-DLC films increased with increased carbon sputtering power probably due to decreased porosity level in the films with increased growth rate and film thickness. The wear performance of the PtRuN-DLC films was investigated with a ball-on-disc micro-tribometer. It was found that the increased carbon sputtering power significantly improved the wear performance of the films by enhancing the adhesion strength of the films. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V.
