The invention relates to fluorine-doped coatings which include a diamond-like composition containing carbon, silicon, oxygen, hydrogen, and fluorine on various substrates. Preferred substrates include flexible substrates, precision-edged substrates, and electrosurgical instruments. The present invention also relates to a method of making a substrate coated with a fluorine-doped diamond-like coating which includes positioning the substrate in a vacuum coating chamber and depositing a diamond-like composition containing carbon, silicon, oxygen, hydrogen, and fluorine onto the substrate by co-deposition of clusterless particle beams comprised of ions, atoms, or radicals of the carbon, silicon, oxygen, hydrogen, and fluorine, the mean free path of each particle species being in excess of the distance between its source and the growing particle coating surface of the substrate.

Fluorine-doped diamond-like coatings

A method for preserving the precision-edges of a precision-edged substrate by applying to a the substrate a corrosion resistant coating comprising a diamond-like solid state material having interpenetrating atomic scale networks comprising a first diamond-like carbon network stabilized by hydrogen, a silicon network stabilized by oxygen, and optionally at least one network made from dopant elements or dopant compounds containing elements from Groups 1-7b and 8 of the periodic table.

Method for preserving precision edges using diamond-like nanocomposite

An erosion resistant coating for optically transmissive substrates formed from a diamond-like nanocomposite structure which contains interpenetrating networks of a diamond-like carbon matrix stabilized by hydrogen, a silicone glass-like network stabilized by oxygen, and optionally, at least one network formed from elements and compounds from groups 1-7b and 8 of the periodic table.

Erosion resistant diamond-like nanocomposite coatings for optical

A method of making capacitors comprising, providing as the dielectric and/or conductive layers, a material made from a diamond-like nanocomposite solid-state material having interpenetrating atomic scale networks of carbon in a diamond-like carbon network stabilized by hydrogen, a glass-like silicon network stabilized by oxygen, and optionally at least one additional network of dopant elements or dopant compounds having elements from Groups 1-7b and 8 of the periodic table.
