横向电场下的类金刚石薄膜激光损伤

类金刚石(DLC)薄膜在红外区有很高的透过率,但激光损伤阈值低,严重限制了其应用领域。采用直接在DLC薄膜上沉积Ti电极,基于激光损伤阈值(LIDT)测试平台,用1-on-1零几率损伤法,研究了在不同偏置电场下DLC薄膜损伤阈值及损伤形貌的变化。发现电场强度从0增加到700V/cm,损伤阈值明显增大;进一步增大偏置电场,损伤阈值相对不变。分析认为偏置电场改变了激光辐照DLC薄膜区域的光生载流子漂移速度,减小了DLC薄膜的局部热累积,减缓了薄膜的石墨化进程,提高了DLC薄膜的抗激光损伤阈值。

光学玻璃基底原子层同质材料沉积薄膜光谱及激光诱导损伤特性研究

通过原子层沉积技术在熔石英玻璃表面制备了同质材料的单层SiO₂薄膜,对光学薄膜的物理化学性质和强激光辐照下的激光诱导损伤性能进行了深入研究。实验中采用双叔丁基氨基硅烷（BTBAS）和臭氧（O₃）作为反应前驱体,在熔石英光学元件表面进行了SiO₂薄膜的原子层沉积工艺研究,以不同沉积温度条件制备了一系列膜样品。首先对原子层沉积特性和薄膜均匀性展开了研究,发现薄膜生长厚度与沉积循环次数之间符合线性生长规律,验证了制备薄膜的原子级逐层生长特性,并且表面沉积膜层的均匀性很好,其测得膜厚波动不超过2%。然后针对不同温度条件下沉积的SiO₂薄膜,对其粗糙度及各类光谱特性展开了研究,对比结果表明：样品的表面粗糙度在镀膜后有轻微的降低;薄膜样品在200～1 000 nm范围内具有出色的透过率,均超过90%并逐渐趋近于93.3%,且其透射光谱与在裸露熔石英衬底上测得的光谱没有明显差异;镀膜前后荧光光谱和傅里叶变换红外光谱的差异证实了原子层沉积SiO₂膜中点缺陷（非桥键氧、氧空位、羟基等）的存在,这将会影响薄膜耐损伤性能。最后对衬底和膜样品进行了紫外激光诱导损伤测试,损伤阈值的变化表明熔石英元件表面沉积薄膜后的激光损伤性能有所降低,其零概率损伤阈值从31.8 J·cm-2减小到20 J·cm-2左右,与光谱缺陷情况表征相符合。薄膜中点缺陷部位会吸收紫外激光能量,导致局域温度升高,进而出现激光诱导损伤现象并降低抗激光损伤阈值。在选定的沉积温度范围内,较高温度条件下沉积的SiO₂薄膜其激光诱导损伤性能更好,可以控制沉积温度条件使得元件的抗损伤性能更为接近衬底本身,后续有望通过其他反应参数的优化来获得薄膜抗损伤性能的进一步提升。

Modulation of residual stress in diamond like carbon films with incorporation of nanocrystalline gold

Residual stress modulation in the diamond-like carbon coatings with incorporation of gold nanoparticles was studied critically. The films were deposited on glass and Si (1 0 0) substrates by using capacitatively coupled plasma chemical vapor deposition. Stresses in the films were determined from the broadening of the optical absorption tail and were found to decrease from 2.3 GPa to 0.48 GPa with increasing gold content (2-7 at.% Au) in the DLC matrix. Gold incorporation also made the films harder than the corresponding DLC coatings. Modulation of stress with nanocrystalline gold content in the DLC matrix was related to the relative amount of sp²/sp³ content in the DLC films.     

Experimental research of laser-induced damage of the monolayer ZrO2 PVD and sol–gel films

Monolayer zirconia physical vapor deposition (PVD) and sol–gel films on K9 glass substrates were prepared by electron beam evaporation and spin coating methods, respectively. The laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT) of each film was measured. Properties of the films were analyzed using Stanford photo-thermal solutions (SPTS), ellipsometry, atomic force microscopy (AFM) and optical microscopy to study the damage mechanism of films under laser irradiation. The experimental results showed that, compared with the monolayer zirconia sol–gel film, the monolayer zirconia PVD film had larger absorption and smaller porous ratio, and that it had smaller LIDT. The different damage morphologies of films were influenced by their different absorption and microstructure characteristics. The zirconia sol–gel film is more suitable for applications involving high-power lasers.

Preparation and tribological properties of DLC/Ti filmby pulsed laser arc deposition

This paper reports that DLC (diamond like carbon)/Ti and DLC films were prepared by using pulsed laser arc deposition. R-ray diffraction, Auger electron spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, nanoindenter, spectroscopic ellipsometer, surface profiler and micro-tribometer were employed to study the structure and tribological properties of DLC/Ti and DLC films.

Synthesis of carbon nanotubes on diamond-like carbon by the hot filament plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition method

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted considerable attention as possible routes to device miniaturization due to their excellent mechanical, thermal, and electronic properties. These properties show great potential for devices such as field emission displays, transistors, and sensors. The growth of CNTs can be explained by interaction between small carbon patches and the metal catalyst. The metals such as nickel, cobalt, gold, iron, platinum, and palladium are used as the catalysts for the CNT growth. In this study, diamond-like carbon (DLC) was used for CNT growth as a nonmetallic catalyst layer. DLC films were deposited by a radio frequency (RF) plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (RF-PECVD) method with a mixture of methane and hydrogen gases. CNTs were synthesized by a hot filament plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (HF-PECVD) method with ammonia (NH₃) as a pretreatment gas and acetylene (C₂H₂) as a carbon source gas. The grown CNTs and the pretreated DLC films were observed using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) measurement, and the structure of the grown CNTs was analyzed by high resolution transmission scanning electron microscopy (HR-TEM). Also, using energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) measurement, we confirmed that only the carbon component remained on the substrate.     

The influence of gas flow rate on the structural,mechanical, optical and wettability of diamond-like carbon thin films

In this research, diamond-like carbon (DLC) thin films were deposited on silicon substrates by radio-frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition method using gas mixture of CH₄ and Ar. The effect of different CH₄/Ar gas ratio on the structure, refractive index, transmission and hardness of the DLC thin films were investigated by means of Raman spectroscopy, ellipsometry, Fourier transform Infrared Spectroscopy and nano-indentation methods, respectively. Nuclear resonant reaction analysis was used to measure the amount of hydrogen and carbon in the thin films. Furthermore, wettability of the thin films was achieved by measuring of water contact angle (WCA). The results indicated that the structural properties of the diamond-like carbon thin films are strongly dependent on the composition of gas mixture. Based on ellipsometry results, refractive index of the thin films varied in the range of 1.89–2.06 at 550 nm. FTIR results determined that deposition of DLC thin films on silicon substrate led to an increase of the light transmission in IR region and these films have the potential to be used in silicon optics as the antireflective coatings in this region. Nano-indentation analysis showed that the thin films hardness changed in the range of 7.5–11 GPa. On the other hand hydrogen content and fraction of C?H bonds in the samples increased by an increase in the gas ratio of CH₄/Ar. Also, WCA measurements indicated that WCA for thin films with gas ratio of 3/7 is the most and equal to 79°.     

Preparation of super-hard coatings by pulsed laser deposition

Amorphous diamond-like carbon (DLC) films and nanocrystalline cubic boron nitride (c-BN) films were prepared by pulsed laser deposition. DLC films with 80 to 85% sp³ bonds prepared at a laser fluence above 6 J/cm² and a substrate temperature below 100 °C show high compressive stresses in the range of 8 to 10 GPa. Those stresses can be completely removed by means of pulsed laser annealing, allowing the preparation of DLC films with several-micrometre thickness. c-BN films were prepared with additional ion-beam bombardment at a substrate temperature of 250 °C. The properties of DLC and c-BN films deposited at high growth rates up to 100 nm/min are presented . PACS 81.15.Fg; 68.60.Bs: 62.40.+i
