1、直流射频等离子体增强化学气相沉积类金刚石碳薄膜的结构及摩擦学性能研究Abstract:In this paper, we investigate the structure and tribological properties of diamond-like carbon (DLC) thin films deposited by direct current (DC) radio-frequency plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). The aim is to understand the effects of depos

2、ition parameters on the film properties, such as structure, composition, and tribological properties. In particular, we focus on the influence of bias voltage and deposition pressure on the properties of DLC films.Introduction:Diamond-like carbon (DLC) thin films have attracted significant attention

3、 due to their unique structural, mechanical, and tribological properties. DLC films can have a low coefficient of friction, high hardness, toughness, chemical stability, and anti-wear properties, which make them highly desirable for various industrial applications, including aerospace, automotive, a

4、nd biomedical fields. DLC films can be prepared by various methods, such as sputtering, ion beam deposition, and plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). Among these techniques, PECVD is a widely used method for the preparation of DLC films due to its simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and sc

5、alability.Experimental:In our experiments, DLC thin films were deposited on a silicon substrate by DC radio-frequency PECVD. The deposition was carried out using CH4 gas as a precursor with various bias voltages (100 V to 700 V) and deposition pressures (0.1 Pa to 1 Pa). The deposition time was kept

6、 constant at 120 minutes, while the total gas flow rate was 100 sccm. The structural and tribological properties of the DLC films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, and friction testing.Results and discussion:XRD and Raman spectroscopy were used to analyze the structu

7、re and composition of the DLC films. The XRD pattern showed that the DLC films were amorphous, indicating a lack of long-range order in the film. However, when the bias voltage was increased, the peak intensity at 2 = 44, which is related to sp2 carbon bonding, increased, indicating an increase in s

8、p2 hybridization. Raman spectroscopy confirmed this observation by showing that the sp2/sp3 ratio increased with increasing bias voltage. Moreover, the deposition pressure had a significant effect on the structure of the DLC films. With increasing deposition pressure, the sp3 carbon bonding decrease

9、d, indicating an increase in sp2 hybridization. This could be attributed to the increase in plasma sheath thickness at higher deposition pressure, which leads to a decrease in ion energy and plasma density.The tribological properties of the DLC films were evaluated by friction testing. The results s

10、howed that the DLC films had a low coefficient of friction, which decreased with increasing bias voltage. Furthermore, the DLC films also exhibited a high wear resistance, which was attributed to their high hardness and chemical stability. However, the deposition pressure had a negligible effect on

11、the tribological properties of the DLC films.Conclusion:In conclusion, we have investigated the structure and tribological properties of DLC thin films deposited by DC radio-frequency PECVD. The results showed that the structure and composition of the DLC films could be controlled by varying the dep

12、osition parameters such as bias voltage and deposition pressure. The tribological properties of the DLC films, such as low coefficient of friction and high wear resistance, were also found to be dependent on the deposition parameters. Therefore, it is important to optimize the deposition parameters

13、to obtain DLC films with desired properties for various industrial applications.Apart from the deposition parameters, the substrate material and surface preparation also play a crucial role in determining the properties of DLC films. The substrate can affect the adhesion and growth of DLC films, whi

14、le the surface preparation can affect the nucleation and orientation of the film. Generally, DLC films are deposited on hard and smooth substrates such as silicon, glass, and metal alloys to ensure good adhesion and uniformity.Furthermore, post-deposition treatments, such as annealing and plasma tre

15、atment, can also enhance the properties of DLC films. Annealing at high temperatures (600C) can improve the sp3 carbon bonding and reduce the hydrogen content in the DLC films, thereby increasing their hardness and wear resistance. Plasma treatment can also modify the surface chemistry and structure

16、 of DLC films, leading to improved tribological properties.In recent years, DLC films have been extensively studied for their biomedical applications, such as coatings for medical implants and drug delivery devices. The biocompatibility of DLC films can be improved by incorporating biocompatible ele

17、ments such as nitrogen and oxygen into the film. Moreover, the low coefficient of friction and high wear resistance of DLC films can reduce the wear and tear of implanted devices and improve their longevity.In conclusion, DLC films have unique structural, mechanical, and tribological properties that

18、 make them highly desirable for various industrial applications. The properties of DLC films can be tailored by controlling the deposition parameters, substrate material, surface preparation, and post-deposition treatments. Future research can focus on exploring the potential of DLC films for biomed
