Copper films were prepared at room temperature under a Cu(hfac)2-Ar-H2 atmosphere in order toobtainmetallized plastics by using ECR-MOCVD (Electron Cyclotron Resonance MetalOrganicChemical Vapor Deposition) coupled with a DC bias system. Structuralanalysis of the films byECR showed that fine copper grains were embedded inan amorphous plastic matrix with goodadherence. Considering the AES resultof the film prepared by ECR-CVD, we construe that thecopper film ischemically bonded with a plastic substrate. The delamination forcedetermined bythe nano-scratch tester® showed in the range from 10 to20mN.
