Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, a filtered arc deposition (FAD) apparatus combined an electron beam (EB) deposition source was designed and developed. Hydrogen-free Si-contained diamond-like carbon (Si-DLC) films with arbitrary Si content were fabricated using the FAD apparatus combined EB deposition source. The fabricated Si-DLC films were expected as a highly heat-resistant film, however the high heat resistance was not obtained because oxygen was mixed in the films. The poor vacuum performance of the apparatus caused the oxygen detection from the films. Thus, the apparatus equipped with a high vacuum environment is expected to contribute to the study of Si-DLC films.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究で開発した装置により,新規DLC膜の開発促進が期待できる。特に,Si-DLCのような高い耐熱性を持つDLC膜の実現は,ガラスレンズのモールド用材料(硝材)の利用範囲を拡大する。高屈折率の硝材が利用できるようになると,レンズの小型化・軽量化が可能となり,映像情報機器端末の高性能化に寄与できる。また,切削回転が高いほど,工具に要求される耐熱温度は高いことから,高回転切削工具用保護膜としても期待される。
