Deposition of diamond-like carbon thin film on LiNbO3 substrate and evaluation of the fabrication of a SAW filter

In the present thesis, diamond-like carbon thin films were deposited on Si(100) and LiNbO3 substrates by a planar capacitor plasma-enhence-chemical-vapor-deposition system. The reaction gases were C2H2,CH4,O2 and mixed with Ar (95¢M) and H2(5¢M).The influence of the growth of the thin film from different substrates and three different source gases flow ratios have been studied. The bi-layers structure of SAW(Surface Acoustic Wave) device was then fabricated.
The interdigital transducers (IDTs) were fabricated on the bi-layers structure. The conditions of the DLC thin film of the bi-layers structure was varied in order to discuss its effects on SAW devices.
In addition to Raman analyses, SEM and AFM have been employed to characterize the DLC thin film quality.
From the experimental results of Raman spectrum analysis reveals that the DLC film has wide and flat spectrum region at wavelength of 1585~1600cm-1 of G-band and 1390cm-1 of D-band .It indicates that the DLC film contains much graphite sp2 bonds and a small part of amorphous DLC sp3 bonds.
The optimal deposition conditions of the DLC film have been found for the reaction gas of C2H2 and Ar, from which the insertion loss of the SAW filter shows the quality better than from the others. SEM and AFM analyses shows that the roughness of the DLC film is below 10 nm and the faces of the DLC films are flat to be made into devices.
