DLC Standardization

DLC standardization activities

JNDF has been carrying out a project for the standardization of DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) commissioned by Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan (METI). The purposes of this project are as following.

• (1) A simple evaluation method for DLC which is based on its optical properties is developed; a draft ISO standard concerning the evaluation method for the optical properties of DLC is proposed.
• (2) A draft ISO standard concerning the evaluation method for the adhesive strength of DLC is proposed.
• (3) Databases for the amorphous carbon films containing DLC are made; the framework of ISO standard related to DLC is created.

The project has been run by the DLC standardization committee organized in JNDF under the leadership of the project leader. The members of the DLC standardization committee and the implementation structure of the project are as follows.
