In this study, we tried finding new materials to improve the stain resistance properties of polymer insulating materials. Using the filtered vacuum arc source (FVAS) with a graphite target source, DLC thin films were deposited on silicon and polymer insulator substrates depending on their thickness to confirm the surface properties, physical properties, and structural properties of the thin films. Subsequently, the possibility of using a DLC thin film as a protective coating material for polymer insulators was confirmed. DLC thin films manufactured in accordance with the thickness of various thin films exhibited a very smooth and uniform surface. As the thin film thickness increased, the surface roughness value decreased and the contact angle value increased. In addition, the elastic modulus and hardness of the DLC thin film slightly increased, and the maximum values of elastic modulus and hardness were 214.5 GPa and 19.8 GPa, respectively. In addition, the DLC thin film showed a very low leakage current value, thereby exhibiting electrical insulation properties.

화학기상증착 방법에 의한 다결정 다이아몬드 박막성장을 위한 공정가운데 가장 많이 사용되는 기법중의 하나가 바로 플라즈마에 의한 방법이다. 특히 플라즈마 화학기상증착(Plasma-Enhanced CVD)기술에 의한 다이아몬드 박막응용은 그 공정에 대한 세부 조정을 통하여 더욱 향상시킬 수 있다. 다이아몬드 박막증착의 경우 중요 변수들은 다이아몬드 필름이 증착되는 기판(substrate)의 온도, $CH_4/H_2$가스비율, 전체가스 압력 및 가스 excitation에너지 등이다. 분광 ellipsometry는 다이아몬드 필름 증착과 관련된 극단적인 환경에서도 물리적인 접촉이나 만들어지는 샘플의 손상없이도 필름자체의 여러 성질뿐만 아니라 기초 샘플의 온도까지도 결정할 수 있는 좋은 방법이다. 이러한 장점들을 이용하여 양질의 다이아몬드 박막을 성장시키기 위한 조건과 그에 따른 박막 특성을 얻기 위하여 분광 ellipsomerry의 사용과 해석이 소개된다. 그리고, 분광 ellipsometry를 이용, 플라즈마 화학기상증착 기술에 의하여 성장되는 다이아몬드 박막으로부터 나타나는 중요 변수들이 결정될 것이며 이러한 변수들은 필름의 두께, 필름에 포함되는 void 및 비다이아몬드의 체적비와, 그들의 시간에 따른 변화등을 포함한다. 그리고 샘플이 원하는 두께까지 성장된 후에 라만 분광기로 측정되어 다이아몬드 성분을 확인한다.

Ta(TaC) 필라멘트를 이용한 HF-CVD 법에 의하여 $Si_3N_4$, SiC, WC, $Al_2O_3$를 기판으로 다이아몬드 박막을 증착하고, 그 밀착특성을 평가하였다. 로내의 $CH_4$농도를 10%로 높게 하였을 경우에는 막중에 graphitic(amorphous) carbon이 생성됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 박막을 $12\mu\textrm{m}$ 정도까지 두껍게 하면, WC기판에서는 부분적 박리형상이 관찰되었으나, $Si_3N_4$를 기판으로 하였을 경우에는 안정한 박막을 얻을 수 있었다. Indentation test 결과로부터 grainding에 의한 기판표 처리가 밀착성 향상에 효과적이라는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또 compression topple test에서는 박막의 두께는 밀착성과 반비례의 관계를 가지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 수 있었다.

We studied the nematic liquid crystal (NLC) aligning capabilities using the new alignment material of a Carbon Nitride (NDLC) thin film. NDLC thin film exhibits high electrical resistivity and thermal conductivity that are similar to the properties shown by diamond-like carbon (DLC) thin films. The diamond-like properties and nondiamond-like bonding make NDLC an attractive candidate for applications. A high pretilt angle of about $9.9^{\circ}$ by ion beam (IB) exposure on the NDLC thin film surface was measured. A good LC alignment is achieved by the IB alignment method on the NDLC thin film surface at annealing temperature of $200^{\circ}C$. The alignment defect of the NLC was observed above annealing temperature of $250^{\circ}C$. Consequently, the high pretilt angle and the good LC alignment by the IB alignment method on the NDLC thin film surface can be achieved.

Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) thin film is a semiconductor with high mechanical hardness, low friction coefficient, high chemical inertness, and optical transparency. DLC thin films have widespread applications as protective coatings and solid lubricant coatings in areas such as Hard Disk Drive (HDD) and Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems (MEMS). In this work, the wear characteristics of DLC thin films deposited on silicon substrates using a DC-magnetron sputtering system were analyzed. The wear tracks were measured with an Atomic Force Microscope (AFM). To identify the sp2 and sp3 hybridization of carbon bonds and other bonds Raman spectroscopy was used. The structural information of DLC thin films was obtained with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and wear tests were conducted by using a micro-pin-on-reciprocator tester. Results showed that the wear characteristics were dependent on the sputtering conditions. The wear rate could be correlated with the bonding state of the DLC thin film.

A kinetic study has been made for the growth of nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) particles to a continuous thin film on silicon substrate in a microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition reactor. Parameters of deposition have been microwave power of 1.2 kW, the chamber pressure of 110 Torr, and the Ar/$CH_4$ ratio of 200/2 sccm. The deposition has been carried out at temperatures in the range of $400\sim700^{\circ}C$ for the times of 0.5~16 h. It has been revealed that a continuous diamond film evolves from the growth and coalescence of diamond crystallites (or particles), which have been heterogeneously nucleated at the previously scratched sites. The diamond particles grow following an $h^2$ = k't relationship, where h is the height of particles, k' is the particle growth rate constant, and t is the deposition time. The k' values at the different deposition temperatures satisfy an Arrhenius equation with the apparent activation energy of 4.37 kcal/mol or 0.19 eV/ atom. The rate limiting step should be the diffusion of carbon species over the Si substrate surface. The growth of diamond film thickness (H) shows an H = kt relationship with deposition time, t. The film growth rate constant, k, values at the different deposition temperatures show another Arrhenius-type expression with the apparent activation energy of 3.89 kcal/mol or 0.17 eV/atom. In this case, the rate limiting step might be the incorporation reaction of carbon species from the plasma on the film surface.

Electro-optical (EO) characteristics of the ion beam (IB) aligned twisted nematic (TN)-liquid crystal display (LCD) with oblique ion beam exposure on the diamond-like carbon (DLC) thin film surface were studied. An excellent voltage-transmittance (V-T) curve of the ion beam aligned IN-LCD was observed with oblique ion beam exposure on the DLC thin film surface for I min. Also, a faster response time for the ion beam aligned TN-LCD with oblique ion beam exposure on the DLC thin film surface for 1 min can be achieved.
