Various methods have been proposed for producing diamond-like carbon, and some have been put into practical use. For example, there are an ion plating method and an ion beam spattering method. In ion plating, the airtight film forming chamber is evacuated, hydrocarbon gas such as methane is introduced as a carbon source, and hydrogen gas for dangling bond replacement is introduced.
These gases are thermally decomposed and activated, and then deposited on the substrate to form a diamond-like carbon film. The film formation rate by this method is low, usually only about 600 to 800 angstroms / minute. This is because the chemical decomposition of hydrocarbon gas is used. In addition, the structure of the device is complicated.

In the present specification, the diamond-like carbon is a carbon having a diamond structure in a minute portion, and is a substance having a large energy gap Eg representing electric insulation and a high hardness. This substance can be widely used as an electric insulating film for electronic devices, a wear resistant protective film, and the like. It is desirable that diamond-like carbon can be formed into a film as uniform as possible at a high film formation rate. The present inventor has found that such a requirement can be met by utilizing the arc discharge of a carbon rod as a carbon supply source.

FIG. 1 shows a schematic view of a film forming apparatus of the present invention. The film forming chamber 1 is formed airtight, and is connected to a hydrogen gas source via a valve 2. Further, it is connected to an exhaust pump via a valve 3. A cathode 4 is arranged inside the film forming chamber 1, and a film forming substrate 5 is attached to the surface of the cathode 4. An anode 6 facing a carbon rod is arranged at a position facing the substrate 5, and the anode 6 and the cathode 4 are connected to the positive and negative sides of a power source 7, respectively. A heater 8 is provided near the substrate 5 and is used for gassing the substrate.

The anode 6 is made up of carbon rods 9 and 10 provided opposite to each other, and a power source 11 is connected between these carbon rods 9 and 10. The opposite ends of the carbon rods 9 and 10 preferably have one pointed end and the other end recessed. When electricity is applied between the carbon rods 9 and 10, arc discharge occurs, and the heat causes the carbon rods 9 and 10 to be discharged.
The opposite end of is vaporized and ionized. Since the carbon rods 9 and 10 are consumable, it is desirable to keep the distance between the carbon rods constant with an appropriate feeding device.

Other forms of anode may be used instead of the carbon rod. FIG. 3 shows a disk-shaped carbon anode. The peripheral surface of the disk 15 is recessed in a V shape, and the peripheral surface of the disk 16 facing the V shape is a sharp edge. By gradually rotating both discs in the direction of the arrow in accordance with the consumption, the arc discharge gap can be constantly maintained.

In operation, the valve 3 is opened to exhaust the film forming chamber 1 sufficiently,
Further, the heater 8 sufficiently discharges the gas from the substrate 5. Then, the valve 2 is opened to introduce H 2 gas at a predetermined flow rate, and the power source 7 is connected between the electrodes 4 and 5 to apply an electric field, and the power source 11 is applied between the carbon rods 9 and 10 (or FIG. Third
An arc discharge is formed between the carbon rods or carbon disks in the figure). Carbon is vaporized and ionized by the heat of arc discharge, accelerated by the action of an electric field and transferred onto the substrate, and diamond-like carbon is formed on the substrate together with hydrogen. During or after the carbon vapor reaches the substrate, some of the carbon takes in H 2 gas and some becomes hydrocarbons. Thus, diamond-like carbon having a diamond structure is formed on the substrate 5 in a minute portion.

Example Using the film forming apparatus of FIG. 1, arc discharge power 0.2 to 1.0K
W, hydrogen pressure 10 −4 to 10 −2 Pa and bias voltage 60
A film-forming experiment of diamond-like carbon was conducted under the condition of 0V. The results are shown in FIGS. 4, 5 and 6. As can be seen from FIG. 4, it can be seen that the film formation rate can be increased by a factor of 2 to 3 by increasing the arc discharge power (that is, increasing the carbon evaporation rate). Further, as can be seen from FIGS. 5 and 6, when the film forming chamber pressure (hydrogen partial pressure) is increased to about 1 × 10 −2 , the hardness H V (Vickers) and the optical energy gear gap Eg are large, and the wear resistance is high. It can be seen that a diamond-like carbon film having excellent properties and insulating properties can be obtained. Further, since no hydrocarbon is used, the film thickness becomes uniform.
