Abstract:
The disclosed method for the formation of a transparent conductive carbon film solves the problems of high temperature processing and long processing times, which are issues in graphene film deposition by thermal CVD, and uses a crystalline carbon film formed at lower temperatures and in less time using a graphene film. The disclosed method is characterised in that: the substrate temperature is set to 500°C or less; the pressure is set to 50 Pa or less; and a transparent conductive carbon film is deposited on the substrate surface of a copper or aluminium thin film by a microwave surface-wave plasma CVD process under a gas atmosphere in which an oxidation inhibitor for inhibiting the oxidation of the substrate surface is added to a mixed gas comprising a carbon-containing gas and an inert gas as an additive gas.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make ion-implanted diamond single crystal activated in n-type electrically in an annealing step. SOLUTION: In an annealing method, an amorphous layer and a defective layer generated when impurity atoms (M) is implanted into diamond single crystal 1 are restored by heat treatment. During the heat treatment, ion beam is cast and the impurity atoms are implanted to a position of substitution to activate the diamond single crystal electrically.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for annealing diamond by which the damaged inside of a diamond monocrystal caused by ion implantation or other processes can be restored at a low temperature. SOLUTION: In this method for annealing diamond in which a defective layer generated in the diamond monocrystal at the time of injecting an additional element into the diamond crystal is restored through heat treatment, the temperature of the heat treatment is adjusted to 600-1,100 deg.C, and the inside of the diamond crystal is irradiated with a helium ion beam by adjusting the ion irradiation energy of the ion beam to 40-100 keV.
Abstract:
A carbon film which has carbon particles having the same particle size as one another ranging from 1 to 1000 nm (preferably 2 to 200 nm) present substantially in the thickness direction of the film and which has an amorphous substance at least on the surface of each of the carbon particles at the interfaces and/or gaps between the carbon particles, the amorphous substance serving to prevent the formation of an impurity during the formation of the carbon particles and/or the growth of the carbon particles. The carbon film or the like retains a high transparency, has optical properties of a high refractive index and a low birefringence, is excellent in electrical insulation, is capable of being applied onto various substrates with good adhesion, and is also capable of being formed at a low temperature. Thus, the carbon film is extremely useful in an optical device, an optical glass, a wrist watch, an electronic circuit board, an abrasive tool or a protective film.
