Diamond-like carbon refers to forms of amorphous carbon and hydrogenated amorphous carbon containing a sizeable fraction of sp 3 bonding, which makes them mechanically hard, infrared transparent and chemically inert. This paper discusses the various thin film deposition processes used to form diamond-like carbon and the deposition mechanisms responsible for promoting the metastable sp 3 bonding.

In this chapter, the current state of the art in optimization of thin film deposition processes is discussed. Based on the reliable and credible published results, the study aims to identify the applications of various optimization techniques in the thin film deposition processes, with emphasis on physical deposition methods. These methods are chosen due to their attractive attributes over chemical deposition techniques for thin film manufacturing. The study identifies the critical parameters and factors, which are significant in designing of the optimization algorithms based on the specific deposition methods. Based on the specific optimization studies, the chapter provides general trends, optimization evaluation criteria, and input-output parameter relationships on thin film deposition. Research gaps and directions for future studies on optimization of physical vapor deposition methods for thin film manufacturing are provided.
