Abstract:
The coated member production method includes a DLC film forming step of introducing a feedstock gas containing a carbon compound and an oxygen-containing organic silicon compound into a treatment chamber in which a base is accommodated, and applying a voltage to the base at a treatment pressure of not lower than 100 Pa and not higher than 400 Pa to generate plasma to form a DLC film on a surface of the base. Hexamethyldisiloxane, for example, is used as the oxygen-containing organic silicon compound. A DC pulse voltage, for example, is applied to the base in the DLC film forming step.

Abstract:
A multilayer substrate includes a diamond layer CVD grown on a composite layer. The composite layer includes particles of diamond and silicon carbide and, optionally, silicon. A loading level (by volume) of diamond in the composite layer can be ≥ 5 %; ≥ 20 %; ≥ 40 %; or ≥ 60 %. The multilayer substrate can be used as an optical device; a detector for detecting radiation particles or electromagnetic waves; a device for cutting, drilling, machining, milling, lapping, polishing, coating, bonding, or brazing; a braking device; a seal; a heat conductor; an electromagnetic wave conductor; a chemically inert device for use in a corrosive environment, a strong oxidizing environment, or a strong reducing environment, at an elevated temperature, or under a cryogenic condition; or a device for polishing or planarization of other devices, wafers or films.

The invention relates to a device (10), wherein the surface (11) thereof is provided with an electrically insulating coating (12) which is voltage-resistant to at least 1000 volt. Said device is characterized in that the coating (12) comprises multiple layers, namely at least one lower layer (14) having a thickness (16) of at most 50 µm, and an upper layer (15) having a thickness (17) of at most 50 µm, wherein the lower layer (14) is made of a hard voltage-resistant material and the upper layer (15) from a voltage-resistant material which is able to penetrate interstices (fig. 1 ).
Abstract:
Problems to be solved: To provide a sliding member capable of achieving low friction properties and low wearing properties under dry conditions (i.e., in the absence of a lubricant). Solution: A sliding member including: a sliding-element 1; and a sliding-element 2 which serves as a counterbody to the sliding-element 1, in which the sliding-element 1 is made of oxide ceramics and the sliding-element 2 is made of a thin film containing hydrogen and sp 3 /sp 2 -hybridized carbon. Advantages: The sliding member achieves low friction properties and low wearing properties and in which the friction coefficient is unrelated to the sliding speed.
