  • This paper focuses the strength and wear resistance of CVD diamond films. The strength of free-standing CVD diamond films synthesized by microwave plasm CVD, DC plasma CVD, RF plasma CVD and arc discharge plasma jet CVD has been measured by three-point bending test. The wear resistance of CVD diamod films has been evaluated by the pin-on-disk type testing. diamond films coated on the base of sintered tungsten carbide pin by hot filament CVD have been rubbed with a sintered diamond disk in muddy water. Volume removed wear of CVD diamond has been compared with stellite, WC alloy and bearing steel.

  • Carbon Nanotube (CNT) films were deposited with varying deposition temperature by RF plasma CVD on Fe catalysts deposited onto $SiO_2$ films grown thermally on the silicon wafer using $C_2H_2$ and $H_2$ gases. The Fe catalysts on silicon oxide film were made by RF magnetron sputtering. The grounded grid mesh cover on the substrate holder was used for depositing CNT thin films with high purity. The surface morphologies and chemical structure of deposited CNT films were characterized using SEM, Raman, XPS and TEM. It was observed that deposited CNTs films were carbon fiber type having Bamboo-like multiwall structure and CNT film grown at $600^{\circ}C$ was more dense than that at $550^{\circ}C$, but become less dense at $650^{\circ}C$.

  • Thin films of diamond-like carbon(DLC) can be successfully deposited by using a magnetron plasma chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method with an rf(13.56 MHz) plasma of $C_dH_8$. Plasma characteristics are analyzed as a function of the magnetic field. As the magnetic field increases, both electron temperature ($T_e$) and density ($n_e$)increase, but the negative dc self-bias voltage (-$V_{ab}$) decreases, irrespective of gas pressures in the range of 1~7 mTorr. High deposition rates have been obtained even at low gas pressures, which may be attributed to the increased mean free path of electrons in the magentron plasma. Effects of rf power and additive gas on the structural properties of DLC films aer also examined by using various technique namely, TED(transmissio electron diffraction) microanalysis, FTIR, and Raman spectroscopies.

  • 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.

  • Thin films of Hydrogenated amorphous carbon(a-C:H) are generally exhibited by high electrical resistivities from 10$^2$ to 10$\^$16/ Ω$.$cm, resulting in an interesting material for high power, high temperature MIS devices applications. The hydrogenated amorphous carbon(a-C:H) films were deposited on silicon and glass using an rf plasma enhanced CVD method. The resultant film properties were evaluated in the respect of material based on r.f. power variation. The hydrogenated amorphous carbon(a-C:H) films of thickness ranging from 30 to 50 m were deposited at the pressure of 1 ton with the mixture of methane and hydrogen. We have used rf-IR( courier transform IR) and AFM(Atomic force microscopy) for determining physical properties and current-voltage(I-V) measurement for electrical Properties.

  • In the study, PPTMDSO(plasma-polymerized tetramethyldisiloxane) films were deposited on on glass substrate in a paralled plate reactor. As the function of RF power increased from 20 W to 110 W, and the substrate temperature increased from $25^{\circ}C$ to $100^{\circ}C$, the deposit ion rate, increased. When oxygen was intentionally added in monomer vapor, the concentration of Si-O-Si bonds increased while C-H, Si-H, -CH3, Si(CH3)x, -CH3, and Si-C bonds decreased in IR spectra. Thermal stability of PPTMSDO film were investigated and weight loss at $800^{\circ}C$ was 7.3 %.

  • Several applications of radio-frequency (RF) thermal plasma to film formation are reviewed. Three types of injection plasma processing (IPP) technique are first introduced for the deposition of materials. Those are thermal plasma chemical vapor deposition (CVD), plasma flash evaporation, and plasma spraying. Radio-frequency (RF) plasma and hybrid (combination of RF and direct current(DC)) plasma are next introduced as promising thermal plasma sources in the IPP technique. Experimental data for three kinds of processing are demonstrated mainly based on our recent researches of depositions of functional materials, such as high temperature semiconductor SiC and diamond, ionic conductor $ZrO_2-Y_2O_3$ and high critical temperature superconductor $YBa_2Cu_3O_7-x$. Special emphasis is given to thermal plasma flash evaporation, in which nanometer-scaled clusters generated in plasma flame play important roles as nanometer-scaled clusters as deposition species. A novel epitaxial growth mechanism from the "hot" clusters namely "hot cluster epitaxy (HCE)" is proposed.)" is proposed.osed.
