In order to further improve the performance of the infrared gas sensors, the multi-layer overlapping nanocomposite amorphous carbon thin films with radiation self-enhancement for IR source were presented. The key preparation process and performance characterization of the material were studied to significantly improve the radiation efficiency of sources and reduce power consumption. The periodic amorphous carbon composite thin films containing titanium were prepared by the unbalanced magnetron sputtering process, and the square resistances and optical absorptivity were measured and characterized under different annealing conditions. The results show that the multi-layer overlapping nano-films can effectively reduce the stress of the thin films, and the oxygen plasma surface etching regulation process can realize the integrated prepa- ration of nanofiber materials with high radiance. The prepared amorphous carbon nanocomposite thin films exhibit a good resistance thermal stability after annealing at 800 ℃, and the absorptivity is more than 80% and the maximum absorptivity is close to 84% in the wavelength range of 5- 6 μm. This work provides a certain technical support for the application of radiation self-enhancement amorphous carbon thin films to MEMS IR sources.
