[20a-PA4-2] Local synthesis of DLC thin films by atmospheric pressure μ plasma jet.
Keywords:atmospheric-pressure microplasma, DLC films, Plasma CVD
Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films have attracted much attention because of its large hardness, excellent wear resistance, and high lubricant. In this research project, setting the primary target for application to micromachines and MEMS, DLC films were locally synthesised at 1 atm by using atmospheric pressure μ plasma. By controlling He/CH4/H2 gas composition, and plasma input power, and deposition temperatre as plasma-parameters, DLC films with film hardness of 16 GPa, and 10-20% of sp³ bonds of hydrocarbon were obtained from the results of FT-IR and Raman spectroscopy.
