It was found that films properties are influenced mainly by pulse volume energy density and, in less extent, by average surface power density of discharge, with optimum at about 75 J/cm/sup 3/ and 2-3 W/cm/sup 2/ correspondingly. Diamond-like films deposited from methane under these conditions are similar to those obtained by traditional low-pressure (p<10 Torr) methods of chemical vapour deposition, but the equipment for a-C:H film deposition in the surface discharges is much simpler and cheaper than the vacuum systems with various types of plasma generator conventionally used for this purpose. To demonstrate technological potential of the proposed method set-up for deposition of a-C:H films on flat dielectric substrates of 20/spl times/50 cm/sup 2/ was created.","PeriodicalId":410823,"journal":{"name":"12th International Conference on High-Power Particle Beams.

Tested chips with special program in their memory were irradiated until the information had been erased. A periodic control of the chip memory during the irradiation was performed. It has been found experimentally that CMOS PROM become free after irradiation with a dose of about 380 Gy, if it was wrapped up with 10-/spl mu/m thick Al foil. The foil only connected chip pins.
