Research Abstract

The diamond-like carbon (DLC) films were prepared on silicon substratum by a microwave CVD method. The apparatus was improved. A sleeve to introduce microwave was settled upward to cool an O-ring between the chamber and reaction tube. This improvement stabilized the preparation of DLC films. The microwave power was 500W. Hydrogen and methane were used as source gases. A total gas pressure was 50 to 100 Pa, a total gas flow rate was 120 con, a methane concentration was 5 % and a growth duration was 1hr. DLC particles, 0.2 μm in diameter, were produced at the center of the reaction tube. DLC films were produced at positions under the reaction tube center. Raman spectra were measured. Two peaks, one in the D band and the other in the G band, were observed at about 1300 and 1600 cm^<-1>, respectively. The intensity ratio of the D peak and the G peak was larger than 1.
DLC films were prepared on silicon substratum evaporated iron or nickel. The thickness of the films was thicker than that on the non-evaporated substrate. These DLC films peeled easily from the silicon substratum. The application for the emitter is. therefore, difficult.
The substrate holder was biased at 0 to -250V by a DC power supply (Matsusada Precision inc. PQ250-3). The negative DC bias enhanced nucleation of DLC films.
A field emitter array (FEA) was produced using DLC films. It is expected to improve and stabilize emission characteristics. The emission current ratio of the DLC coated emitter and non-coated molybdenum emitter was about 10.
