Thermal Heating Effect on Structural and Mechanical Property of Diamond-Like Carbon Film Prepared by Filtered Cathodic Arc

Article Preview

Abstract:

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films were deposited on magnetic recording head by Filtered Cathodic Arc (FCA) technique and a-Si base material was ion beam deposited as seed layer. To investigate the thermal stability of stack film, repeated cycle thermal heating at 200 °C was employed. Raman spectroscopy and nanoindenter (Hysitron) were performed to understand film structure and mechanical property as a function of thermal heating conditions. The roles of heating in material composition and wear behavior of DLC films are discussed. The Raman spectra revealed that G position, FWHM of G peak and Id/Ig change as with increasing heating cycle which agreed well with wear depth measured. With these results suggesting DLC film degraded with repeated heating at 200 °C.
