초록

Diamond-like carbon (DLC)은 $Sp^3$ 결합분율이 높은 준안정 상태의 비정질 탄소물질로 이루어진 박막이다. DLC는 기계적 특성, 화학적 특성, 윤활 특성뿐만 아니라 광학적, 전기적 특성 또한 우수한 물질이다. 본 연구에서는 DLC 박막을 그라파이트(graphite) 타깃을 출발 물질로 하여 고주파 마그네트론 스퍼터(RF magnetron sputter)로 $SiO_2$ 기판 상에 증착하였다. 증착된 DLC 박막은 후 열처리를 하였으며 열처리 온도에 따른 DLC 박막의 특성 변화를 관찰하였다. 열처리는 진공에서 급속가열법(rapid thermal process)으로 $300{\sim}500^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 시행하였다. 열처리된 DLC 박막은 전기적 특성 평가를 위하여 Hall 계수 측정기를 이용하여 상온 비저항을 측정하였으며 표면 변화를 확인하기 위하여 원자력 현미경(atomic force microscopy)을 이용하여 표면형상 변화를 관찰 하였다. 또한 표면특성, 비저항 특성 변화와 구조적 특성 변화와의 관계를 확인하기 위하여 X-선 광전자 분광법(X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy)과 라만 분광법을 이용하여 열처리에 따른 DLC 박막의 구조 변화를 관찰하였다.

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films is a metastable form of amorphous carbon containing a significant fraction of Sp3 bond. DLC films have been characterized by a range of attractive mechanical, chemical, tribological, as well as optical and electrical properties. In this study DLC films were prepared by the RF magnetron sputter system on $SiO_2$ substrates using graphite target. The effects of the post annealing temperature on the Property variation of the DLC films were examined. The DLC films were annealed at temperatures ranging from 300 to $500^{\circ}C$ using rapid thermal process equipment in vacuum. The variation of electrical property and surface morphology as a function of annealing treatment was investigated by using a Hall Effect measurement and atomic force microscopy. Raman and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses revealed a structural change in the DLC films.
