Tensile behaviors of micron-scaled silicon coated with sub-micro meter thick PECVD DLC film


DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) film is one of the promising coating material in MEMS industry deal to its many desirable mechanical and functional properties. In this research, the tensile testing was carried on micro-scaled Si thin film full coated by PECVD DLC film with different deposition bias by PECVD method. An increasing in tensile properties was observed.
