Good adhesion between the SiCxNy(H) layers and polymeric foil was achieved by formation of a transitional C:N:H layer and incorporating Si gradient into the structure of the SiCxNy(H) layer. The chemical composition of the layers was tailored by precise control of the gaseous precursors ratios: [SiH4]/[NH3], [SIH4]/[NH3]/[CH4], [SiH4]/[CH4] or [SiH4]/[N2]/[CH4]. The structure and chemical composition of the obtained layers were subjected to further studies (FTIR, SEM/EDS). The roughness, friction coefficient and wear resistance were also measured.
