Abstract

The adhesion of diamondlike hard carbon films to silicide forming metals was improved by using an interfacial silicon film several atomic layers thick. The use of thicker (> 10nm) silicon layers results in a decrease in the adhesion, probably due to a degradation of the structural integrity by excessive silicide formation.
