| In this study amorphous hydrogenated carbon films (a-C:H) were formed on Si (111) from an Ar-C2H2 and Ar-C2H2-H2 gas mixtures at 1000 Pa pressure using a plasma jet chemical vapour deposition. It is shown that by varying the Ar:C2H2 ratio and adding the hydrogen gas in plasma, the structure, surface morphology, growth rate of the coatings, and consequently their optical properties can be controlled. |
