In this study, we tried finding new materials to improve the stain resistance properties of polymer insulating materials. Using the filtered vacuum arc source (FVAS) with a graphite target source, DLC thin films were deposited on silicon and polymer insulator substrates depending on their thickness to confirm the surface properties, physical properties, and structural properties of the thin films. Subsequently, the possibility of using a DLC thin film as a protective coating material for polymer insulators was confirmed. DLC thin films manufactured in accordance with the thickness of various thin films exhibited a very smooth and uniform surface. As the thin film thickness increased, the surface roughness value decreased and the contact angle value increased. In addition, the elastic modulus and hardness of the DLC thin film slightly increased, and the maximum values of elastic modulus and hardness were 214.5 GPa and 19.8 GPa, respectively. In addition, the DLC thin film showed a very low leakage current value, thereby exhibiting electrical insulation properties.

In this paper, we studied coatings of the DLC thin film for improving loosening torque of dental implant screw. We used a filtered arc ion plating process which can realize the most dense DLC layer by coating the DLC thin film on the surface of the dental abutment screw. It showed both hardness comparable to diamond and low friction coefficient similar to graphite, and to improve the loosening phenomenon by increasing the screw tightening force Cr/CrN, Ti/TiN or Ti/TiN/Cr/CrN buffer layers were deposited for 5 to 10 minutes to improve the adhesion of the DLC thin film to the surface of the Ti (Gr.5), and then the DLC thin film was coated for about 15 minutes. As a result, the Cr/CrN buffer layer exhibited the highest hardness of 29.7 GPa, the adhesion of 18.62N on average, and a very low coefficient of friction of less than 0.2 as a whole. And we measured loosening torque after one million times with masticatory movement simulator. As a result, the values of the coated screw loosening torque were clearly higher than those of the uncoated screw. From this, it was found that the DLC coating was effective methods improving the loosening torque. In addition, it was confirmed that the cytotoxicity test and cell adhesion test showed high biocompatibility.

Diamond-like carbon(DLC) thin films with interlayer were deposited on silicon substrate using a reactive sputtering method. The thermal stability of the films was investigated by annealing the films for 1hr in air in the range of 100 to $500^{\circ}C$. The $I_D/I_G$ ratio increased with increasing temperature as related to the $sp^3-to-sp^2$transition. Accordingly, G-position shifting started from $150^{\circ}C$ in the DLC films and from $270^{\circ}C$ in the a-Si/DLC films. Moreover, in the case of the a-Si/DLC films the film still observed even after annealing at $500^{\circ}C$. The thermal stability of the reactive sputtered DLC films appeared to be improved by the a-Si interlayer.

Effects of ion implantation and deposition on the tribological properties of DLC film as a function of implanted energies and process times were investigated. TiC ions were implanted and deposited on the Si-wafer substrates followed by DLC coating using ion beam deposition method. In order to study tribological properties such as friction coefficient and behavior of DLC film on the modified surface as a function of implanted energies and process times, we used a ball-on-disc type apparatus in the atmospheric environment. From results of wear test, as the implanted energy was increased, the friction coefficient was more stable below 0.1.

In addition to its similarity to genuine diamond film, diamond-like carbon (DLC) film has many advantages, including its wide band gap and variable refractive index. In this study, DLC films were prepared by the RF PECVD (Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition) method on silicon substrates using methane ($CH_4$) and hydrogen ($H_2$) gas. We examined the effects of the RF power on the electrical properties of the DLC films. The films were deposited at several RF powers ranging from 50 to 175 W in steps of 25 W. The leakage current of DLC films increased at higher deposition RF power. And the resistivities of DLC films grown at 50 W and 175 W were $5\times10^{11}$ ${\Omega}cm$ and $2.68\times10^{10}$ ${\Omega}cm$, respectively.

플라즈마화학기상증착 장치를 이용하여 플라즈마 폴리머와 다이아몬드상 탄소(diamond-like carbon, DLC) 박막을 합성하였다. 플라즈마 폴리머 박막 위에 패시베이션 층으로 DLC 박막을 두께에 따라 합성하였고, DLC/플라즈마 폴리머 박막의 구조적, 물리적, 전기적 특성들을 고찰하였다. 기존 플라즈마 폴리머는 누설 전류 특성이 좋고 낮은 유전상수 값을 가지고 있다. 그러나 실제 반도체 공정에 적용되기 위해서는 물리적 특성도 만족되어야 하기 때문에 플라즈마 폴리머 박막 위에 DLC 패시베이션을 적용하여 플라즈마 폴리머의 물리적, 전기적 특성들을 향상시키고자 하였다. DLC 박막의 두께가 증가함에 따라 플라즈마 폴리머의 경도와 탄성계수 값은 증가하였고, root-mean-square 표면거칠기 값은 감소하고 접촉각은 증가하였다. DLC 패시베이션 되어진 플라즈마 폴리머의 경우 패시베이션이 없는 폴리머보다 유전상수 값이 증가하였지만 전기적 누설전류 특성은 향상되었다.

The silicon-containing Diamond-like Carbon (Si-DLC) film as an low friction coefficient coating has especially treated a different silicon content by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) process at $500^{\circ}C$ on nitrided-STD 11 mold steel with (TMS) gas flow rate. The effects of variable silicon content on the Si-DLC films were tested with relative humidity of 5, 30 and 85% using a ball-on-disk tribometer. The wear-tested and original surface of Si-DLC films were analysed for an understanding of physical and chemical characterization, including a changing structure, via Raman spectra and nano hardness test. The results of Raman spectra have inferred a changing intra-structure from dangling bonds. And high silicon containing DLC films have shown increasing carbon peak ratio ($I_D/I_G$) values and G-peak values. In particular, the tribological tested surface of Si-DLC was shown the increasing hardness value in proportional to TMS gas flow rate. Therefore, at same time, the structure of the Si-DLC film was changed to a different intra-structure and increased hardness film with mechanical shear force and chemical reaction.

상온에서 $Cs^+$ ion sputtering에 의해 발생된 탄소 음이온 빔과 Kaufmann type ion source를 이용하여 발생된 수소 양이온 빔을 Si기판 위에 동시에 증착함으로써 얻어지는 DLC 박막의 특성을 분석하여 DLC 박막의 증착에 미치는 수소 이온의 영향을 관찰하였다. 수소 가스의 flow rate을 0 sccm부터 12 sccm까지 변화 시킴에 따라 박막 내에 포함되는 수소의 양이 증가하였으며, 수소의 증가에 따라 박막 내에 $sp^2$구조가 증가하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 수소에 의한 $sp^2$결합이 증가되는 현상은 증착시 박막 내에 주입되는 수소의 양이 CVD에 비해 매우 적은 양이지만, 상대적으로 높은 에너지를 지니고 기판에 충돌하기 때문에 물리적 에너지 전달 효과가 DLC 박막의 형성에 크게 작용하였음을 알 수 있었다.

In this study, DLC films deposited by PECVD were evaluated to the properties of super-hydrophobic by CF₄ treatment. The structure of DLC films were confirmed by Raman Spectra whether or not mixed sp³ (like diamond) peak and sp² (like graphite) peak. And the hydrogen contents in the DLC films (F-DLC) were measured by RBS analysis. In addition, DLC films were analyzed by scratch test for adhesion, nano-indentation for hardness and tribo-meter of Ball-on-disc type for friction coefficient. In the result of analysis, DLC films had traditional structure regardless of variation of hardness at constant conditions. Also adhesion of DLC film was increased as higher material hardness. Otherwise, friction coefficient was increased as lower material hardness. The DLC films were treated by CF₄ plasma treatment to enhance the properties of super-hydrophobic. And the DLC films were measured by ESEM(Enviromental Scanning Electron Microscope) for water condensation.
