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.

Electro-optical (EO) performances of the ion beam (IB) aligned twisted-nematic (TN)-liquid crystal display (LCD) with ion beam exposure on the new diamond-like carbon (DLC) thin film surface were investigated. A good voltage-transmittance (V-T) curve of the ion beam aligned TN-LCD with oblique ion beam exposure on the DLC thin film surface for 1 min was observed. Also, the fast response time of the ion beam aligned TN-LCD with oblique ion beam exposure on the DLC thin film surface for 1 min can be achieved. Finally, the residual DC voltage of the ion beam aligned TN-LCD on the DLC thin film surface is almost the same as that of the rubbing aligned TN-LCD on a polyimide (Pl) surface.

We studied the nematic liquid crystal (NLC) aligning capabilities using the new alignment material of diamond like carbon (DLC) thin film. A high pretilt angle of about $4^{\circ}$ was measured by ion beam(IB) exposure on the DLC thin film surface. A good LC alignment was observed by the IB alignment method on the DLC thin film surface at annealing temperature of $200^{\circ}C$, and the alignment defect of the NLC was observed above annealing temperature of $220^{\circ}C$. Consequently, the high NLC pretilt angle and the good thermal stability of LC alignment can be achieved by the IB alignment method on the DLC thin film surface.

Our study is to search for tribological properties of diamond-like carbon (DLC) films as known as anti- wear hard thin film on various polymers. This report deals with the deposition of DLC films on various polymer substrates in vacuum by magnetron radio frequency (RF) sputtering method with using argon plasma and graphite, titanium target. The properties of friction and wear are measured using a ball-on-disk wear -testing machine. The properties of friction and wear have been remarkably improved by DLC coating. Moreover the composition of DLC films has been analyzed by using auger electron spectroscopy(AES). The wear rate of titanium-containing DLC film is lower than that of no-metal-containing DLC film.

Electro-optical (EO) characteristics of the ion beam (IB) aligned twisted nematic (TN)-liquid crystal display (LCD) with oblique ion beam exposure on the diamond-like carbon (DLC) thin film surface were studied. An excellent voltage-transmittance (V-T) curve of the ion beam aligned IN-LCD was observed with oblique ion beam exposure on the DLC thin film surface for I min. Also, a faster response time for the ion beam aligned TN-LCD with oblique ion beam exposure on the DLC thin film surface for 1 min can be achieved.

We fabricated the conventional silicon tips coated with a diamond-like carbon (DLC) film. The DLC films are prepared by the filtered cathodic vacuum arc (FCVA) technique. With increasing nitrogen content in DLC film, the work function($\phi$) and the turn-on voltage decrease and the emission current increases. This phenomenon is due to the fact that the Fermi-level moves to the conduction band by increasing nitrogen doping concentration. We have tested on the stability of the DLC film coated silicon tip during 2 hours at 500V.

Diamond-like carbon(DLC) films were deposited on buffer-layered ZnS substrates by radio frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition(RF-PECVD) method. Ge and GeC buffer layera were used between DLC and ZnS substrates to promote the adhesion of DLC on ZnS substrates. Ge buffer layers were sputter deposited by RF magnetron sputtering and $GeC^1$ buffer layers were deposited by same method except using acetylene reactive gas. The relatinship between film properties and deposition conditions was investigated using gas pressure, RF power and dc bias voltage as PECVD parameters. The hardness of DLC films were measured by micro Vickers hardness test and the adhesion of DLC films on buffer-layered ZnS substrates were studied by Sebastian V stud pull tester. The optical properties of DLC films on butter-layered ZnS substrates were characterized by ellipsometer and FTIR spectroscopy.

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.

Diamond-like carbon (DLC)박막은 높은 경도, 화학적 안정성, 높은 광 투과성을 가지고 있어, 공구강, 광학렌즈 및 플라스틱의 보호 코팅을 위해 응용되어진다. 본 연구에는 DLC 박막은 Silicon을 기반으로 하는 태양전지 반사 반지막으로 응용을 위해, 13.56 MHz RF 플라즈마 화학기상 증착 (RF-PECVD)법을 통해 합성되었다. DLC 합성 시 RF power는 150 W, 메탄 (CH4)가스의 유량은 6%~10% 조절되었다. 합성되어진 DLC 박막의 광학적 특성은 UV spectrometry, Ellipsometry를 사용하여 분석되었고, 경도는 Nano-indenter를 사용하여 측정되었다. 측정 결과 투과도와 굴절률 등의 광학적 특성은 탄소 조성비가 6%정도에서 가장 좋은 결과 값을 얻었으나, 물리적 특성인 경도는 탄소 조성비가 높을수록 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, Si기판과의 접착력은 32N 이상의 높은 값을 나타내었다. 결과로써, DLC 박막은 합성시 적절한 탄소 조성비를 통해 silicon을 기반으로 하는 태양전지 반사방지막으로 응용할 수 있다.
