Abstract

Carbon films have been deposited in a parallel-plate r.f. CVD reactor using methanol-water vapour mixture as precursor, without any carrier or diluent gas. The various characterization tests showed that the films obtained at the optimum experimental conditions are typical DLC material. The notable feature of the experiment is that factors such as complexity of the set-ups, safety measures against hazards and costly precursor/carrier gases are avoided. This demonstration appears to be a positive step towards the more economical and convenient synthesis of DLC.
