Diamond thin films have been deposited on the silicon substrate by inductively coupled radio frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition system. The morphological features of thin films depending on methane concentration and deposition time have been studied by scanning electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. The diamond particles deposited uniformly on silicon substrate($10{\times}10[mm^2]$) at the pressure of 1[torr], a methane concentration of 1[%], a hydrogen flow rate of 60[sccm], a substrate temperature of $840\{sim}870[^{\circ}C]$, an input power of 1[kw], and a deposition time of 1[hour]. With increasing deposition time, the diamond particles grew, and than about 3 hours have passed, the graphitic phase carbon thin film with "cauliflower-like" morphology deposited on the diamond thin films.

13.56 MHz rf플라즈마를 이용하여 증착된 DLC(diamond-like carbon) 박막의 광학적 특성에 대해 조사하였다. $CH_4$가스를 원료가스로 하여 PECVD법에 의해 DLC 박막을 형성하였으며 이때 RF power, working pressure, 보조가스의 종류 및 양에 따른 투과도(transmittance)와 optical band gap의 변화를 관찰하였다. RF power가 증가하고 working pressure가 높을수록 optical band gap이 감소하는 결과를 얻을 수 있었고. FT-IR분석을 이용하여 탄소-수소 결합 양을 관찰함으로써 DLC 박막의 결합구조 변화를 증명할 수 있었다. 그리고 수소와 질소를 첨가한 경우 증착시 탄소-수소 결합을 끊는 역할을 하여 optical band gap이 감소하는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

Technical demands for aspheric glass lens formed in market increases its application from simple camera lens module to fiber optics connection module in optical engineering. WC is often used as a metal core of the aspheric glass lens, but the long life time is issued because it fabricated in high temperature and high pressure environment. High hard thin film coating of lens core increases the core life time critically. Diamond Like Carbon(DLC) thin film coating shows very high hardness and low surface roughness, i.e. low friction between a glass lens and a metal core, and thus draw interests from an optical manufacturing industry. In addition, DLC thin film coating can removed by etching process and deposit the film again, which makes the core renewable. In this study, DLC films were deposited on the SiC ceramic core. The process variable in FVA(Filtered Vacuum Arc) method was the substrate bias-voltage. Deposited thin film was evaluated by raman spectroscopy, AFM and nano indenter and measured its crystal structure, surface roughness, and hardness. After applying optimum thin film condition, the life time and crystal structure transition of DLC thin film was monitored.

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.

일반적인 화학증기증착(CVD : Chemical Vapor Deposition)실험에서 반응기작을 연구할 수 있는 LPCVD (Low Pressure CVD) 장치의 설계 및 제작에 관한 것과, 특히 이 장치를 이용하여 메탄, 수소의 혼합기체와 헬륨을 완충(buffer) 가스로 사용하여 p-type (111) Si wafer 위에 다이아몬드 박막(diamond film)을 얻고자 시도한 것에 대하여 기술하였다. 실험은 두 가지 방법으로 나누어서 행하였다. (1) Si wafer를 반응기 안에 있는 heater(약 480$^{\circ}C$)위에 놓고 두 개의 다른 inlet 가스관을 사용하여 실험하였다. Posphoric acid로 coating된 하나의 관은 microwave discharge시킨 수소 기체를 흘려주는데 사용하였고, 다른 관은 discharge시키지 않은 메탄 기체를 흘려주는데 사용하였다. 그 결과로 무정형 탄소 뭉치 화합물(amorphous carbon cluster)을 얻었다. (2) 수소와 메탄을 동시에 discharge시켜 plasma 상태인 discharge tube안에 Si wafer을 넣고 증착시켜, 그 결과로 다이아몬드 구조를 갖은 반응생성물을 얻었다.

A diamond-like carbon (DLC) film deposited on a WC disk was investigated to improve disk wear resistance for injection molding of zirconia optical ferrule. The deposition of DLC films was performed using the filtered vacuum arc ion plating (FV-AIP) system with a graphite target. The coating processing was controlled with different deposition times and the other conditions for coating, such as input power, working pressure, substrate temperature, gas flow, and bias voltage, were fixed. The coating layers of DLC were characterized using FE-SEM, AFM, and Raman spectrometry; the mechanical properties were investigated with a scratch tester and a nano-indenter. The friction coefficient of the DLC coated on the WC was obtained using a pin-on-disk, according to the ASTM G163-99. The thickness of DLC films coated for 20 min. and 60 min. was about 750 nm and 300 nm, respectively. The surface roughness of DLC films coated for 60 min. was 5.9 nm. The Raman spectrum revealed that the G peak of DLC film was composed of $sp^3$ amorphous carbon bonds. The critical load (Lc) of DLC film obtained with the scratch tester was 14.6 N. The hardness and elastic modulus of DLC measured with the nano-indenter were 36.9 GPa and 585.5 GPa, respectively. The friction coefficient of DLC coated on WC decreased from 0.2 to 0.01. The wear property of DLC coated on WC was enhanced by a factor of 20.

In this research, DLC thin films are produced as several hundred nm thickness by PE-CVD method. And then these thin films are estimated tribological characteristics to find out useful possibilities as a protecting film for high-quality function and life extension at MEMs by mechanical properties observation . These are measured thickness and residual stress of DLC coating. Compared after measuring friction coefficient, adhesion force, hardness, cohesive force of coating films. As results all test, we can decide several conclusions. First, friction coefficient decreased, as the load increased. otherwise, friction coefficient increased, as thickness of coating film increased under low load$(1\~50mN)$. Secod, adhesion force increased as thickness of coating films. Third, hardness of coating film is affected by substrate coating film when it is less than thickness of 300nm and it has general hardness of DLC coating film when it is more than thickness of 500nm. Fourth, cohesive force of coating film is complexly affected by hardness, adhesion force, residual stress, etc.

Low-hydrogenated DLC films were coated on the Mo-tip FEAs by 'layer-by-layer' process based on the plasma-enhanced CVD method. The hydrogen content in the DLC film deposited by the 'layer-by-layer' process was appeared to be remarkably lowered through SIMS analysis. Also, the low-hydrogenated DLC-coated Mo-tip FEA showed good potentiality for FED applications in terms of turn-on voltage, emission current, emission stability and light emitting uniformity.
