Resumen:
This work is a comparative study of the different effects on the growth of a-C:H films obtained with the application of a
pulsed bipolar (+-100 V) rather than of a continuous, only negative (100 V), substrate bias. The depositions were performed from
a CH4?CO2 gas mixture in a RF-PACVD system, in which an external bias was applied to the substrates to produce an energetic
ion bombardment of the growing film. Pulsing the bias turned out to be much more effective in the densification and hardening of
the material than the application of a continuous negative voltage and in assuring, at the same time, better adhesion to the
substrate.
