Abstract: Nowadays there are materials having excellent properties for use in medicine (Diamond-like carbon, Hydroxyapatite, …). Diamond-like carbon (DLC) is a metastable form of amorphous carbon containing bonded carbon atoms of sp2 and sp3 hybridized orbital. DLC layers are semiconductors with high mechanical hardness, chemical inertness, low coefficient of friction, high thermal conductivity, good electrical and optical properties, biocompatibility and no cytotoxicity. All properties of the films are not always ideal, so it is necessary to modify the layer. One example of how to modify the properties of thin layers are dopations. The incorporation of dopants in films may lead to greater multifunctionality and much improved properties. Most modifications were made to modify contact angle and surface energy, to reduce internal stresses, to decrease surface roughness, coefficient of friction or wear....
