Es ist nicht anwendbar für Kohlenstoffschichten, die mit Metallen oder Silizium verändert worden sind, für amorphe Kohlenstoffschichten, die einen Gradienten ihrer Zusammensetzung/Eigenschaft in der Schichtdicke aufweisen, und für Farben und Lacke.

Il s'applique aux films de carbone amorphe déposés par évaporation ionisée, pulvérisation, dépôt par arc cathodique, dépôt chimique en phase vapeur assisté plasma (PAVCD), par filament chaud, et d'autres techniques.
Il ne s'applique pas aux films à base de carbone modifié avec des métaux ou du silicium, aux films de carbone amorphe qui ont un gradient de composition/propriété dans l'épaisseur, aux peintures et aux vernis.

Uporablja se za amorfne ogljikove plasti, nanesene z ioniziranim izparevanjem, naprševanjem, obločnim nanašanjem, kemičnim naparjevanjem s pomočjo plazme, tehnikami vročih filamentov in drugimi.
Ne uporablja se za ogljikove plasti, modificirane s kovinami ali silicijem, amorfne ogljikove plasti, ki imajo gradient sestave/lastnosti v debelini, barvah in lakih.

Introduction

This document provides a determination method and a classification for optical properties of

amorphous carbon films by spectroscopic ellipsometry.
2 3

Amorphous carbon films have a structure, containing both sp and sp bonded carbon atoms and

in several cases also hydrogen. There are graphite-like, polymer-like, glass-like and diamond-like

carbon films. Because of their outstanding mechanical properties, amorphous carbon films are used

in various hard coating applications on hard metals, e.g. as protective coatings against wear and

corrosion in automotive parts. Biomedical and optical applications on alternative substrate materials

such as silicon and glass have become more and more important. Currently, amorphous carbon films

are classified into several types with regard to their chemical structures, and each type is selectively

used according to its appropriate application. For an easy classification of amorphous carbon films, an

optically quantified phase fingerprint with high accuracy is provided as a result of an international

interlaboratory comparison.

The optical properties of refractive index n and extinction coefficient k determined by spectroscopic

ellipsometry are the key quantities for the proposed classification of amorphous carbon films. The

interlaboratory comparison demonstrated that a classification within the n-k plane is feasible for

all types of amorphous carbon films. This will be beneficial for the identification of the coating type

on alternative substrate materials (such as silicon and glass) and additional industrial applications.

Spectroscopic ellipsometry as a fast and non-destructive analytical method can also be applied

to quality control and development in industrial applications, given that smooth and well-defined

substrate materials are used and appropriate modelling is applied.

This document is intended to implement recommended ellipsometric test conditions and the n-k plane

classification scheme of amorphous carbon films on silicon wafers.
This document is useful for the complementary optical
