Abstract

Articles protectively coated with a diamond-like thin film firmly bonded to the substrates are obtained by forming an intermediate layer composed of an amorphous mixture of silicon and carbon on a substrate of a material which has only a slight affinity for such a diamond-like thin film, and forming a diamond-like thin film further thereon.
