AbstractThe role of imperfections on the initiation and propagation of interface delaminations in compressed thin films has been analyzed using experiments with diamond-like carbon (DLC) films deposited onto glass substrates. The surface topologies and interface separations have been characterized by using the Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) and the Focused Ion Beam (FIB) imaging system. The lengths and amplitudes of numerous imperfections have been measured by AFM and the interface separations characterized on cross sections made with the FIB. Chemical analysis of several sites, performed using Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES), has revealed the origin of the imperfections. The incidence of buckles has been correlated with the imperfection length.

AbstractAn ultra high vacuum ion beam system, consisting of a 20 cm diameter Rf excilted (13.56 MHz) ion gun and a four-axis substrate scanner, has been used to modify large surfaces (up to 1000 cm2) of various materials, including; infrared windows, silicon nitride, polycrystalline diamond, 304 and 316 stainless steels, 440C and M50 steels, aluminum alloys, and polycarbonates; by depositing different chemical compositions of diamond-like carbon films. The influences of ion energy, Rf power, gas composition (H2/CH4 , Ar/CH4 and O2/CH4/H2), on the diamond-like carbon characteristics has been studied. Particular attention was focused on adhesion, environmental effects, IR(3–12 μm) transmission, coefficient of friction, and wear factors under spacelike environments of diamond-like carbon films on various substrates. A quadrupole mass spectrometer was utilized to monitor the ion beam composition for quality control and process optimization.
