Deposition and characterisation of carbon thin films via patented Off-Plane Double Bend FCVA deposition system by Lee, Jin Zhou

“…On the other hand, ta-C thin films can be obtained by setting the voltage bias at -50V to -100V so long as the substrate temperature is set at room temperature (RT) range (10°C to RT). I-V results show that NCG carbon thin film has superior electrical conductivity compared to a-C thin films and this brings many possible applications for NCG carbon thin film where high electrical conductivity is required.…”
