Abstract

Amorphous “Diamond-like” carbon films were deposited on plasma-free substrates at low temperature by the Facing Targets Sputtering (FTS) method. Tribological characteristics determined by tap, scratch and slide tests were much better than those for amorphous carbon films deposited by the conventional Magnetron Sputtering (MS) method. Consequently, these films deposited by the FTS method were surely useful for protective layers in rigid magnetic disk.
