ABSTRACT: Hybrid laser technologies for deposition of
thin films and basic schemes of combination of pulsed laser deposition (PLD)
with magnetron sputtering and RF discharges or two lasers or three laser
deposition systems are presented. Experiences with deposition of chromium doped
diamond-like carbon (DLC) films for coating of prostheses are described. Layers
of different chromium concentrations were prepared using hybrid systems (PLD +
magnetron sputtering or by double PLD). Results of physical and mechanical
characterization of film properties and biomedical tests of trivalent and toxic
hexavalent chromium are given. Experiences with double laser deposition of DLC
layers doped with silver are also mentioned.
