Investigation of Optical, Structural and Electrical Properties of Cu-DLC Films Deposited by Simultaneous Direct Current and Radiofrequency Magnetron Sputtering
In this paper, the structural, electrical and optical properties of copper doped amorphous carbon films were investigated and the relation of these properties with plasma produced chemical active species in simultaneous direct current and radiofrequency magnetron sputtering was studied. The effect of changing power of a direct current power supply at constant power of radio frequency on the film properties was investigated. Raman spectroscopy of the films indicated that G peak position and ID / IG ratio increased, which indicates a decrease in the SP3 respect to SP2 bonding in the film structure. Optical emission spectroscopy (OES) was also performed to investigate the dominant chemical active species produced in the plasma environment and showed that Cu active species decreased with increasing the power. Also the results showed that by increasing the power of direct current to graphite target from 60 to 120 W as well as keeping the radio frequency power constant at 10 W which connected to copper target, the optical absorption coefficient of the films increased. Also, the optical band gap grew from 0.69 ev to 1.37 ev. The refractive index of the deposited films analyzed by ellipsometry showed a decreasing trend from 1.85 to 1.24 with increasing power.
