Abstract

A novel approach to deposit amorphous carbon from the precursor CH2I2 at low cost and high efficiency is reported. The combination of thermal and quantum photo effects shows new interesting growth behaviour. The radiation of a halogen-lamp was used to heat the substrate material and to split photolytically the precursor molecules above the substrate surface. The deposition process was investigated as a function of lamp power, gas phase partial pressures and substrate materials. The films were analysed by Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, x-ray photon spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy.
