ABSTRACTA compact electron cyclotron wave resonance (ECWR) source has been developed for the high rate deposition of hydrogenated tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C:H). The ECWR provides growth rates of up to 900 A/mm and an independent control of the deposition rate and ion energy. The ta-C:H was deposited using acetylene as the source gas and was characterized in terms of its bonding, stress and friction coefficient. The results indicated that the ta-C:H produced using this source fulfills the necessary requirements for applications requiring enhanced tribological performance.

Hydrogen-free diamondlike carbon films were prepared on Si(100) with electron cyclotron wave-resonance plasma, which serves to sputter the graphite target and to simultaneously bombard the growing surface. Direct penetration of postionized carbon atoms (up to 140 eV) in addition to the momentum transfer from Ar plasma facilities the formation of the Ta–C structure. Surface morphology, mechanical, and optical properties of the deposits were examined with respect to the ion energy. Atomic force microscope images revealed island morphology in deposits with a typical root-mean-square roughness of 20 nm. A maximum content of about 70% for the fourfold-bonded structure was estimated from the Raman profiles, giving rise to a micro hardness of 60 ± 5 GPa.
