Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the

Introduction
This document provides a determination method and a classification for optical properties of
amorphous carbon films by spectroscopic ellipsometry.
2 3
Amorphous carbon films have a structure, containing both sp and sp bonded carbon atoms and
in several cases also hydrogen. There are graphite-like, polymer-like, glass-like and diamond-like
carbon films. Because of their outstanding mechanical properties, amorphous carbon films are used
in various hard coating applications on hard metals, e.g. as protective coatings against wear and
corrosion in automotive parts. Biomedical and optical applications on alternative substrate materials
such as silicon and glass have become more and more important. Currently, amorphous carbon films
are classified into several types with regard to their chemical structures, and each type is selectively
used according to its appropriate application. For an easy classification of amorphous carbon films, an
optically quantified phase fingerprint with high accuracy is provided as a result of an international
interlaboratory comparison.
The optical properties of refractive index n and extinction coefficient k determined by spectroscopic
ellipsometry are the key quantities for the proposed classification of amorphous carbon films. The
interlaboratory comparison demonstrated that a classification within the n-k plane is feasible for
all types of amorphous carbon films. This will be beneficial for the identification of the coating type
on alternative substrate materials (such as silicon and glass) and additional industrial applications.
Spectroscopic ellipsometry as a fast and non-destructive analytical method can also be applied
to quality control and development in industrial applications, given that smooth and well-defined
substrate materials are used and appropriate modelling is applied.
This document is intended to implement recommended ellipsometric test conditions and the n-k plane
classification scheme of amorphous carbon films on silicon wafers.
This document is useful for the complementary optical property classification and quality control of
amorphous carbon films.
As amorphous carbon films show a huge diversity of structure and properties, it is crucial to select
the appropriate type of amorphous carbon film to exploit their excellent properties in practical use.
Therefore, carbon films are characterized by spectroscopic ellips
