ZnO thin films were deposited on polyimide foil substrates using cathodic vacuum arc deposition technique. X-ray diffraction was used to investigate the influence of bias voltage on the structure of ZnO thin films. The results show that all the samples have (002) preferred orientation. The internal stress of the films is compressive stress which increases with the bias voltage. Fragmentation test shows that the intrinsic interfacial shear strength of ZnO thin film without bias voltage is slightly lower than the shear yield strength of polyimide substrate; the intrinsic interfacial shear strength of ZnO thin film increases with the bias voltage from -50V to -200V, which indicates that bias voltage is beneficial to the enhancement of the adhesion between ZnO films and polyimide substrates. Further increase of the bias voltage to -300V leads to surface damage of the polyimide substrates.

Diamond-Like carbon (DLC) films were prepared under different bias voltage by direct current magnetic filter cathode vacuum arc deposition (DC-MFCVAD). Bias voltages changed from 0 to -200 V. The study intends to investigate the effect on the properties of DLC films for biomedical applications. X-ray photoelectron spectrum (XPS) was used to investigate composition of the films. Nano-scratch tests were used to characterize effects of bias voltage to adhesion. Furthermore, the wettability of the DLC films was investigated by contact angle measurements using four common liquids. Finally, platelet adhesion experiments were done to evaluate the interaction of blood with DLC films. The results showed that the adhesion, wettability and hemo-compatibility of DLC films were affected by bias voltage.

AbstractWe have used pulsed vacuum arc deposition to prepare TixCy films and multilayer structures of TixCy / diamondlike carbon (DLC) in a dual plasma source set-up. The composition of the monolithic films was controlled by varying the pulse duration of each plasma gun. During the deposition, a repetitively pulsed bias voltage was applied to the substrate in order to improve the adhesion to the substrate and between the individual layers. For the multilayers, the carbon and Ti guns were synchronously pulsed during deposition of the TixCy, and the Ti gun was not operated during the DLC deposition. Multilayers with different periodicities were synthesized. The deposited films were analyzed by various techniques including XPS, AES, TEM, EELS, and XRD to characterize the composition, bonding states, and microstructure. Special attention was given to the interface thickness in relation to the applied bias voltage. Tribological properties such as friction coefficient and wear resistance were measured, and correlated to the composition and microstructure of the films.

The un-doped zinc oxide (ZnO) films on the polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate at a low temperature (<75°C) by using cathode vacuum arc deposition (CVAD) system with different negative substrate bias voltage applied between 0 and -100 V. The material, mechanical, optical and electrical properties were investigated and discussed. The results show that all ZnO thin films have (002) preferred orientation, an average transmittance was over than 70 % in the visible region. Calculated band gap values are all around 3.2 eV with the different substrate bias voltages. The ZnO thin films with resistivities as low as 10-3Ω*cm have been obtained by adjusting the substrate bias voltage on the plastic substrates.
