Abstract

Hydrogenated amorphous carbon (a-C:H) films were prepared by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition method with three different groups of processing parameters. After being radiated in oxygen plasma for 30 min, the properties of all the a-C:H changed significantly. In order to investigate the oxygen plasma effect, Raman spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy and ellipsometry were performed. From the above test results, it can be inferred that oxygen plasma radiation is a feasible method to change the nature of a-C:H films.
