摘要
Pure and Ru-doped carbon films are deposited on Si (100) substrates by electron cyclotron resonance chemical vapor deposition. The films are characterized by transmission electron microscopy, electron energy loss spectroscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy. In both the pure and Ru-doped samples, diamond nanocrystallites are formed in amorphous carbon matrices. The Ru-doped film contains much smaller diamond nanocrystallites (approx. 3 nm) than the pure samples (approx. 11 nm). Lower surface roughnesses are observed in both pure and Ru-doped samples as compared to other reported nanocrystalline diamond films. The conductivity of the Ru-doped film is significantly higher than that of the pure film. The results show that Ru-doped nanocrystalline diamond films have unique structures and properties as compared to pure nanocrystalline diamond films or metal doped diamond-like carbon films, which may offer advantages for electrochemical, optical-window, field emission or tribological applications.
