Abstract

Lotus-leaf-like amorphous carbon(a-C)films were fabricated on glass andSisubstrates by a magnetron sputtering system and fluorinated in carbon tetrafluoride plasma. The fluorinated films(a-C:F)had a maximum contact angle (CA) of about 162°, which is much larger than that of the nonfluorinated films (105°). Furthermore, the geometric microstructure and chemical composition of thea-C:Ffilms were investigated by scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, respectively. The characterization results indicated that the CA on the surfaces of thea-C:Ffilms can be improved remarkably by the plasma-fluorinated process. Sucha-C:Ffilms that combine superhydrophobicity with other properties may have many potential applications.
