<p>The presently claimed invention provides a metal-free and low stress thick film of diamond-like carbon (DLC). The diamond-like carbon layer of the present invention has a wide range of applications such as automotive coating, hydrophobic-hydrophilic tuning, solar photovoltaic, decorative coating, protective coating and bio-compatible coating. The presently claimed invention further provides a method and an apparatus to grow a metal-free and low stress thick film of diamond-like carbon by performing deposition and plasma etching to stack more than one diamond-like carbon layers together in the same chamber.</p> |
