초록

The diamondlike (DLC) films were deposited by RF plasma CVD system which had cathode consisting of mesh sheet, for the purpose of a protection from wear of OPC surface of the electrophotographic photosensitive body. Material charateristics and tribological properties of the films were also investigated and finally copying performance was evaluated with DLC deposited OPC samples. The surface resistance of the DLC film unaffected by the surface potential of the OPC was about $10^{11}{\Omega}$ and its hardness was about 1200 kg/$\textrm{mm}^2$. In this case the film showed typical material strcture of dimondlike hydrocarbon. The friction coefficient of the film was lowered to 0.2~0.3 at the optimum condition in this investigation and their wear resistant was inproved by DLC-deposition on the OPC surface. DLC-deposited OPC samples with a good copying performance without image flow and draft could be obtained at some depositing conditions.
