Tribo-test of a-C:H filmin aqueous environment

Critical issue of a-C:H film for bio-application : Film delamination is enhanced in humid and aqueous environment.

a-C:H film has excellent physical and chemical properties such as high hardness, low friction, high wear resistance and chemical inertness. Various applications ranging from data storage to bio-materials have been investigated.

Purposes of the Present Work• To check the possibility that the residual stress of a-C:H film is dependent on

the humidity.

• To characterize the humidity dependence of residual stress of a-C:H film of various atomic bond structures.

• In situ stress measurement : kMOS (k-space Multi-beam Optical Sensing)

• Humidity control : 10~90% in air (±5%) step control.

• Temperature : room temperature (19~26°C)

• Measurement time : about 600sec for each step.

• Resolution of kMOS : maximum 4km in radius (In this system 1MPa)

Film Deposition

Observations• Residual stress of a-C:H film

exhibits a humidity dependence, which is related to the atomic bond structure of the film.

• In polymeric and graphitic film, the compressive residual stress increases as the humidity increases.

• The residual stress of diamond-like film is independent of the humidity.

• The change of the residual stress is immediate and reversible with humidity variation.

In the case of polymeric a-C:H film, for all thickness additional surface force caused by water molecule is

9.4±1.4 Nm-1

The most significant result of the present work is to show that the residual stress of a-C:H film is dependent on the humidity, which is related to the atomic bond structure of the film.

The humidity dependence of the residual stress is due to the interfacial reaction with water molecule.

1) Immediate and reversible change with humidity variation2) Change of the residual stress is inversely proportional to the film

thickness

Humidity dependence of the residual stress could be controlled by either changing the atomic bond structure or a simple surface treatment.

Conclusions

Increase in the residual stress with humidity change from 20% to 90%. Max. 16MPaImmediate and reversible change of the residual stress with humidity change.

The role of water molecules can be found by the relationship between the film thickness and variation of stress.

In polymeric films, the variation of stress with humidity decreases as the film thickness increases. “Case 1. Reaction at surface” is predominant.
