Abstract

The diamond-like nanocomposite (DLN) thin films were deposited on Si substrates using $CH_4/(C_2H_5O)_4Si/H_2$/Ar gas mixtures as source gases by the plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). The chemical structure and microstructure of grown films were investigated and their tribological properties were evaluated by a ball-on-plate type tribometer. The deposited DLN films mainly consisted of diamond-like a-C:H and quartz-like a-Si:O networks. The DLN films had a good agreement with tribological coating applications due to their extremely low friction coefficients and low wear rates.

$CH_4/(C_2H_5O)_4Si/H_2$/Ar가스 혼합물을 출발 반응원료로 하여 플라즈마 화학기상증착법으로 Si 기판 위에 유사 다이아몬드 나노복합체(diamond-like nanocomposite, DLN) 박막을 증착하였다. 성장된 막의 화학구조와 미세구조를 확인하였으며 막의 마모특성을 평가하였다. 증착된 DLN 막은 다이아몬드와 유사한 a-C:H 구조와 실리카와 유사한 a-Si:O 구조가 네트워크 형태로 구성되어 있음을 확인하였으며 극도로 낮은 마모계수와 마모속도를 나타내어 내마모 코팅용 보호막으로 의 응용에 적합한 것으로 나타났다.
