The effects of ion implantation on microtexture of vapordeposited carbon film were studied by Raman, XRD, TEM and sheet resistivity measurements. Growth of graphitemicrocrystals in the film was found when the film was implanted at the temperature above about 500 K. while graphite-sheet in the as-deposited film was distorted when it was implanted at the temperature below 300 K. The critical temperature for the ion beam annealing was estimated to be about 350 K. Ion implantation also caused the increase of the adhesion strength of the carbon film to a substrate.
