Diamond-like carbon was deposited on glass substrates by a photo chemical vapor deposition method using methane and hydrogen gases as a starting material. Light from an Ar excimer lamp was tentatively applied to the deposition together with a mercury lamp. The experimental results show the effect of an Ar excimer lamp was not obtained, indicating that other condition is necessary to make use of the Ar excimer lamp.
