Carbon-based Films and Coating Technologies Group mainly focuses on the advanced carbon-based thin films by various PVD/CVD methods and related plasma-based surface modification technologies. The research interests include the following fields currently:

 
  Diamond-like carbon films and key technologies 
 

    -    Fabrication of various nanostructured DLC films (a-C:H, ta-C, Me-DLC etc.) by different and hybrid PVD/CVD  techniques.

 

    -    Characterization of structures and properties, of particular interest of mechanical, tribological, as well as electrical performance.

 

    -     Calculation study on the mechanism between structure and properties of films.

 

    -     Optimization of deposition process and equippments for various applications.

 

         
  

 
     Nanostructured superhard coatings and solid lubricant films for wear resistant  application  
   -     Manipulation and properties of ternary, quaternary nanostructured nitride, carbide, boride superhard   coatings such as TiAlSiN, CrAlSiN etc.

    -     Synthesis and tribological properties of solid lubricant films such as GLC, MoS2 and MAX phase etc.

    -     Application of superhard and/or lubricant films in mechanical components

   
         
 

   Development of plasma surface modification technology. 

-      Plasma characterization during high ionization technology

-      Functional treatment for light alloys and polymers to improve corrosion and wear resistance

-      Development of massive production process and equipment for application.
