Boron Enhanced Diamond-like Carbon Hybrid Foils

Micromatter (Advanced Applied Physics Solutions)

can be increased by sandwiching a thin layer of boron between two layers of diamond-like carbon. MICROMATTER DLC-B hybrid foils contain between 5% and 10% boron.
DLC-B foils have remarkable flexibility, higher tensile strength and hardness. In most applications, their lifetime in particle beams is significantly greater than regular DLC foils. DLC-B foils are recommended for applications that require highest mechanical robustness and improved durability under beam conditions.
