미소인장시험을 통해 304 스테인리스 스틸 판재 위에 증착된 DLC 박막의 안정성을 평가하였다. 모재의 소성 변형과 함께 코팅 층의 손상이 발생하기 시작하는데, 작은 규모의 모재 변형 시에는 인장축의 수직방향으로 박막의 균열이 발생하지만, 모재의 슬립변형이 발생하기 시작하면 인장 축과 $45^{\circ}C$의 각도를 갖는 슬립 면을 따라 필름의 박리가 발생하였다. DLC박막의 박리면적으로부터 필름의 접착력을 평가할 수 있었으며, 필름의 합성 전에 실시하는 Ar 플라즈마 스퍼터링 세척시간이 길수록 그리고 세척시 기판에 인가되는 전압이 높을수록 필름의 접착력은 향상되었다. 이러한 변화는 스테인리스 스틸 모재와 Si 접합 층간의 계면특성이 향상되면, 필름의 전체 접착력을 증진시킬 수 있음을 보여주고 있다.

Various surface colors are predicted and implemented using the interference color generated by controlling the thickness of nano-level diamond like carbon (DLC) thin film. Samples having thicknesses of up to 385 nm and various interference colors are prepared using a single crystal silicon (100) substrate with changing processing times at low temperature by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition. The thickness, surface roughness, color, phases, and anti-scratch performance under each condition are analyzed using a scanning electron microscope, colorimeter, micro-Raman device, and scratch tester. Coating with the same uniformity as the surface roughness of the substrate is possible over the entire experimental thickness range, and more than five different colors are implemented at this time. The color matched with the color predicted by the model, assuming only the reflection mode of the thin film. All the DLC thin films show constant D/G peak fraction without significant change, and have anti-scratch values of about 19 N. The results indicate the possibility that nano-level DLC thin films with various interference colors can be applied to exterior materials of actual mobile devices.

Tribological behavior of the diamond-like carbon (DLC) films sliding on floppy disk has been investigated. Hydrogenated DLC films have been prepared by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) using methane and hydrogen mixture in different volume ratios on ferrite substrates. DLC films show lower friction coefficients (0.2~0.4) than those of the uncoated ferrite(0.4~0.5). DLC films containing more hydrogen exhibit higher wear resistance. To investigate the roughness effect on wear, the substrates were polished with SiC papers prior to deposition. Too fine or too rough DLC surfaces result in poor wear resistance. Wear resistance of annealed DLC films at higher temperature slightly increases with respect to as-deposited film.

We have studied the field emission characteristics of multi-layered diamond-like-carbon (DLC) films deposited by vertical electrodes type plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition with CH$_4$ and H$_2$ mixture. We deposited a thin layer of DLC on the p$^{+}$-Si substrate and then turned off plasma before another deposition of a new DLC layer. The thickness and the number of DLC layers are varied. The emission characteristics of multi-layered DLC films were compared with conventional one. The multi-layered DLC film shows higher emission current than conventional one.e.

This study examined the friction and wear behavior of diamond-like carbon (DLC) films deposited from a radio frequency glow discharge using a hydrogen diluted benzene gas mixture. The DLC films were deposited on Si (100) and polished stainless steel substrates by r.f.-PACVD at hydrogen to benzene ratios, or the hydrogen dilution ratio, ranging from 0 to 2.0. The wear test was carried out in both ambient and aqueous environments using a home-made ball-on-disk type wear rig. The stability of the DLC coating in an aqueous environment was improved by diluting the benzene precursor gas with hydrogen, suggesting that hydrogen dilution during the deposition of DLC films suppress the initiation of defects in the film and improved the adhesion of the coating to the interface.

The effects of negative carbon ion beam energy on the bonding configuration, hardness and surface roughness of DLC film prepared by a direct metal ion beam deposition system were investigated. As the negative carbon ion beam energy increased from 25 to 150 eV, the $sp^3$ fraction of DLC films was increased from 32 to 67%, while the surface roughness was decreased. The films prepared at 150 eV showed the more flat surface morphology of the film than that of the film prepared under another ion beam energy conditions. Surface roughness of DLC film varied from 0.62 to 0.22 nm with depositing carbon ion beam energy. Surface nano-hardness increased from 12 to 57 Gpa when increasing the negative carbon ion beam energy from 25 to 150 eV, and then decreased when increasing the ion beam energy from 150 to 200 eV.

RF-PECVD(radio frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition)법을 이용하여 $CH_4+SiH_4+Ar$ 혼합 가스로부터 유리 기판 위에 투명 다이아몬드상 카본(diamond-like carbon, DLC)을 합성하였다. 공정압력과 rf-파워, $CH_4/SiH_4/Ar$ 혼합비, 그리고 증착 시간은 각각 0.1 torr, 100W, 20 : 1 : 1, 20분이었다. DLC가 증착된 유리와 증착되지 않은 유리의 투과도를 가시광선 영역에서 비교하였고, DLC가 증착된 유리의 경도, 표면 조도와 두께를 nanoindenter와 AFM으로 측정하였다. DLC가 증착된 유리의 투과도는 증착되지 않은 유리와 비교할 때 380 nm 파장에서 약 83 %, 500 nm 이상의 파장에서는 95 % 이상 수준이었다. DLC가 증착된 유리의 경도는 증착되지 않은 유리의 약 2.5배이었다. 증착된 DLC 박막은 매우 고른 표면을 보였으며 20분 증착 후 두께는 150 nm 이상으로 나타났다.

In this paper, we investigate fringe-field switching (FFS) mode cell by the ion beam (IB) alignment method on the a-C:H thin film, to analyze electro-optical characteristics in this cell. We studied on the suitable inorganic thin film for fringe-field switching (FFS) cell and the aligning capabilities of nematic liquid crystal (NLC) using the new alignment material of a-C:H thin film An excellent voltage-transmittance (V-T) and response time curve of the IB-aligned FFS-LCD was observed with oblique IB exposure on the DLC thin films. Also, AC V-T hysteresis characteristics of the IB-aligned FFS-LCD with IB exposure on the DLC thin films is almost the same as that of the rubbing-aligned FFS cell on a polyimide (PI) surface.

Various depositional conditions, such as substrate, pressure, deposition time, temperature of substrate, power and gas composition, have mainly been studied to attain DLC films using RF sputtering system up to the current. In this study, the $N_2/Ar/CH_4$ gas mixture factored on characteristics of DLC deposited film such as structure, hardness, electrical property were investigated. The concentration of the $N_2$ gas in the sputtering gas may be a significant effect on the growth rate of the doped films, because nitrogen ions react not only with the carbon atoms on the target but also with $C_xH_y$ ions in the plasma on the substrate surface. It was seen from this experimental that the resistance of deposited film is decreased, and the relative intensity ratio of D to G peak is increased as nitrogen content of film deposition is increased.
