Diamond like carbon (DLC) films were deposited at room temperature on Si (111) substrates by microwave electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) plasma chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process using plasma of methane diluted with argon gas. During deposition, dc self bias (−25 V to −200 V) on substratewas varied by application of RF power to the substrate. The influence of substrate bias on density of the deposited filmswas studied by Xray reflectivity (XRR). The results from these measurements are further correlated with the results from UV and visible Raman spectroscopy. DLC film is modeled as a structure having three different layers such as low density surface, bulk and interface with the substrate. This three-layer model is used to fit the measured XRR data to evaluate the surface, interface and interlayer roughness, thickness and density of these films. The surface roughness obtained from XRR is correlated with the results from Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) measurements. The observed results are explained based on the subplantation model for DLC film growth.
