  • Abstract
    The morphology and structure of RF sputtered carbon films have been investigated. The growth of these films is shown to take place by the formation and agglomeration of rounded particles. The film growth mechanism and the substrate nature were the primary factors determining the morphology of carbon films. The structure of the carbon films was found to be predominantly amorphous.
