Abstract

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films have been prepared by electrolysis of methanol solution using a pulse-modulated source. The deposition rate of the films is enhanced significantly compared to that of dc value. That the films do not contain bonded hydrogen is confirmed by infrared spectra. The structures of the films are characterized by Raman spectroscopy. These films show chemical inertness and hardness values in the range 12.5–19 GPa. Current-voltage characteristics of the films are measured, indicating that the resistivity is in the 107 Ω cm range and the breakdown field is larger than 1 MV cm−1.
