Abstract

We have deposited diamond-like carbon (DLC) films using RF magnetron sputtering techniques, and investigated structure, chemical bonding of deposited films and these thermal stabilities by Raman spectroscopy and photoelectron spectroscopy. It has been found that the film deposited under typical conditions is amorphous carbon (a-C) with 62% sp² and 38% sp³ bonds. Ordering of a-C has been observed with an increase in substrate temperature during deposition and similarly observed after postannealing, although the sp³/sp² ratio in a film does not change even at 900°C. The absence of conversion between sp³ and ² bonds indicates that the DLC films have high thermal stabilities.
