Abstract

One object is to provide a method for providing a water- and oil-repellent layer on an amorphous carbon film with excellent fixity. A method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes the steps of: preparing a substrate; providing, directly or indirectly on the substrate, an amorphous carbon film layer containing silicon and nitrogen in at least a surface thereof; and providing a water- and oil-repellent layer containing fluorine on the amorphous carbon film layer via a coupling agent capable of forming, with the amorphous carbon film layer, hydrogen bonds based on polarity and/or —O-M bonds (M is any one element selected from the group consisting of Si, Ti, Al, and Zr) by condensation reaction with functional groups of the amorphous carbon film.

Claims (18)

1. A method comprising the steps of:

preparing a substrate;

providing, directly or indirectly on the substrate, an amorphous carbon film layer containing silicon and nitrogen in at least a surface thereof; and

providing a water- and oil-repellent layer on the amorphous carbon film layer via a coupling agent capable of forming, with the amorphous carbon film layer, hydrogen bonds based on polarity and/or —O-M bonds (M is any one element selected from a group consisting of Si, Ti, Al, and Zr) by condensation reaction with functional groups of the amorphous carbon film layer.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the coupling agent is a silane coupling agent.

3. The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of performing a plasma process with nitrogen on the amorphous carbon film layer.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the amorphous carbon film layer comprises two or more layers, of which a topmost layer contains silicon and nitrogen in at least a surface thereof.

5. A method comprising the steps of:

preparing a substrate;

providing, directly or indirectly on the substrate, an amorphous carbon film layer containing silicon and nitrogen in at least a surface thereof; and

providing, on the amorphous carbon film layer, a water- and oil-repellent layer comprising a fluorine-based coupling agent capable of forming, with the amorphous carbon film layer, hydrogen bonds based on polarity and/or —OM bonds (M is any one element selected from a group consisting of Si, Ti, Al, and Zr) by condensation reaction with functional groups of the amorphous carbon film layer.

6. The method of claim 5 wherein the fluorine-based coupling agent is a fluorine-containing silane coupling agent.

7. The method of claim 5 further comprising the step of performing a plasma process with nitrogen on the amorphous carbon film layer.

8. A laminated body comprising:

a substrate;

an amorphous carbon film layer containing silicon and nitrogen and provided directly or indirectly on at least one surface of the substrate; and

a water- and oil-repellent layer provided on the amorphous carbon film layer via a coupling agent capable of forming, with the amorphous carbon film layer, hydrogen bonds based on polarity and/or —O-M bonds (M is any one element selected from a group consisting of Si, Ti, Al, and Zr) by condensation reaction with functional groups of the amorphous carbon film layer.

9. The laminated body of claim 8 wherein the coupling agent is a silane coupling agent.
