Experiments were conducted using vacuum arc deposition system with a coiled anode. DLC films were prepared by changing the conditions of the coiled anode magnetic field and the outer coil magnetic field using this equipment. With this setup, DLC films were prepared by varying the conditions of the coiled anode magnetic field and the outer coil magnetic field. Film thickness was determined by calottes, while surface analysis was performed using SEM. The experimental results revealed that the deposition rate was enhanced by using the coiled anode and outer coil. Simultaneously, it was observed that the number of droplets relative to the film thickness decreased.
