Diamond-Like Carbon Films with Low Internal Stress by a Simple Bilayer Approach

Amorphous carbon films with a high hardness usually suffer from high internal stress. To deposit films with a hard top surface but reduced internal stress, a simple bilayer approach was used. Films were prepared by plasma source ion implantation, using only hydrocarbon precursors. The single layer w...
