- Abstract
- a-C:H films were prepared by closed-field unbalanced magnetron (CFUBM) sputtering on silicon substrates using argon (Ar) and acetylene (C2H2) gases, and the effects of post-annealing temperature on structural and mechanical properties were investigated. Films were annealed at temperatures ranging from 300 degrees C to 700 degrees C in increments of 200 degrees C using rapid thermal annealing equipment in vacuum ambient. Variations in microstructure were examined using Raman spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Surface and mechanical properties were investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM), nano-indentation, residual stress tester, and nano-scratch tester. We found that the mechanical properties of a-C:H films deteriorated with increased annealing temperature. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
