Thin films prepared in RF glow discharge and their physico-chemical properties
Bránecký, Martin ; Boušek, Jaroslav (referee) ; Čech, Vladimír (advisor)
Theoretical part of this master thesis was focused on literature recherché dealing with the formation of thin films, plasma, plasma analyses using mass spectrometry and plasma polymerization. Further, this section describes the analysis of thin films using optical methods such as spectroscopic ellipsometry and FT-IR spectrometry. Experimental part describes the materials which are used for the preparation of thin films as well as a description of the equipment for preparation of thin films using a technology of plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PE-CVD). Control of deposition conditions and monitoring of plasma with its products result in high reproducibility of thin films. The last part of the thesis describes the results of measurement of the first group of samples and their ellipsometric, mass spectrometry and FT-IR evaluation with respect to the deposition conditions.

Progressive Amorphous Carbon Alloys Synthesized in Low-Temperature Plasma
Bránecký, Martin ; Trunec, David (referee) ; Kylián,, Ondřej (referee) ; Čech, Vladimír (advisor)
Atomic/plasma polymerization technology is widely used in various technical fields. This work is focused to use the PE-CVD technology in the field of formation of interphase and adhesive layers, which are developed into layered nanostructures. To ensure reproducible chemical and physical properties of the materials, the deposition process was monitored by mass spectrometry. Vapours of the pure tetravinylsilane, or a mixture of these vapours with oxygen, was used as a precursor for atomic polymerization, which results in the thin films with a large variability of properties. Physical and chemical properties were varied by the effective power delivered to the plasma discharge. The deposited films were analyzed from different perspectives using several methods (in situ spectroscopic ellipsometry, FTIR, nanoindentation, AFM). The removal of hydrogen atoms from the carbon-silicon network results in increased crosslinking of the material, which controls the mechanical and optical properties of the deposited layers. From the precisely defined a-CSi:H and a-CSiO:H materials, layered nanostructures composed of 3 and 7 individual layers was subsequently constructed. These nanostructures were analyzed by XPS and RBS to determine the atomic concentrations of carbon, silicon, oxygen and their binding states.
