| Popis | This paper is focused on plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) of novel carbon-based thin films. Unique thin films were deposited from a mixture of methane, hydrogen, and a precursor containing fluorine and copper: (hfac)copperVTMS (hfac = hexafluoroacetylacetonato and VTMS = vinyltrimethylsilane). Using the (hfac)copperVTMS precursor in PECVD deposition results in the advantageous chemical composition of carbon-based thin films while maintaining sufficient mechanical properties. Furthermore, with optimized plasma parameters, the films deposited on the substrate exhibit a nanocomposite structure. This nanostructured surface can increase the surface area, which is beneficial for various applications, including antibacterial and antiviral properties. The radiofrequency glow discharge at low pressure (? 70 Pa) and power P = 25W and P = 250W was used for deposition. Deposited thin films were analyzed using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, water contact angle measurement, atomic force microscopy, and nanoindentation techniques. Despite the doping of carbon-based thin films with soft copper, the prepared films exhibited sufficient mechanical properties, which are crucial for the future implementation of this deposition process. |
