Characterization of amorphous carbon films from 5 nm to 200 nm on single-side polished a-plane sapphire substrates by spectroscopic ellipsometry

In this work, a series of amorphous carbon films were deposited on a-plane sapphire substrates by magnetron sputtering with deposition time from 15 min to 8 h, in order to investigate the thickness and optical properties in the process of growth in a non-destructive way. They were characterized by u...
