摘要
We have deposited unhydrogenated diamond-like carbon (DLC) films on Si substrate by pulsed laser deposition using KrF excimer laser, and investigated the effects of atomic-hydrogen exposure on the structure and chemical bonding of the DLC films by photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) using synchrotron radiation and Raman spectroscopy. The fraction of sp(3) bonds at the film surface, as evaluated from C1s spectra, increased at a substrate temperature of 400 degrees C by atomic-hydrogen exposure, whereas the sp3 fraction decreased at 700 degrees C with increasing exposure time. It was found that the sp3 fraction was higher at the surfaces than the subsurfaces of the films exposed to atomic hydrogen at both the temperatures. The Raman spectrum of the film exposed to atomic hydrogen at 400 degrees C showed that the clustering of sp(2) carbon atoms progressed inside the film near the surface even at such a low temperature as 400 degrees C.
