초록

Thin films of diamond-like carbon(DLC) can be successfully deposited by using a magnetron plasma chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method with an rf(13.56 MHz) plasma of $C_dH_8$. Plasma characteristics are analyzed as a function of the magnetic field. As the magnetic field increases, both electron temperature ($T_e$) and density ($n_e$)increase, but the negative dc self-bias voltage (-$V_{ab}$) decreases, irrespective of gas pressures in the range of 1~7 mTorr. High deposition rates have been obtained even at low gas pressures, which may be attributed to the increased mean free path of electrons in the magentron plasma. Effects of rf power and additive gas on the structural properties of DLC films aer also examined by using various technique namely, TED(transmissio electron diffraction) microanalysis, FTIR, and Raman spectroscopies.
