Abstract

Thin films of amorphous carbon have been successfully fabricated by radio frequency-plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (RF-PECVD). Carbon film preparation with a methane gas (CH4) source has been fabricated with deposition parameters: RF power of 15 Watt, frequency of 13.5 MHz, substrate temperature of 1000 C, pressure of 450 mTorr, and deposition time of 120 minutes. Methane gas flows were 40, 60, 80 sccm. The thin film can be in the form of Diamond Like Carbon (DLC), Graphite or Amorphous Carbon depending on the ratio of hybridized orbitals of sp3, sp2 and sp. The X-ray diffractrometry (XRD) patterns show the amorphous carbon phase has been formed in the thin film. Further analysis using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) combined with synchrotron photoemission spectroscopy (PES) showed that the sp3 hybridization was more dominant than sp2. This gives an indication that as fabricated thin films are tetrahedrally amorphous carbon (ta-C).
