This work evaluated the microstructure, mechanical, and electrochemical properties of Si/DLC coatings deposited using ‎ the plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) technique. Tetramethylsilane and acetylene were used as precursor gases in the deposition process. The characteristics of the...
