ABSTRACT:
A method is provided for ion treating diamond-like carbon (DLC) in order to reduce contact angle thereof. For example, a substrate is coated with a layer(s) or coating(s) that includes, for example, amorphous carbon in a form of DLC. The DLC is then ion beam treated in a manner so as to cause the contact angle θ thereof to decrease. In certain example embodiments, at least oxygen gas is used in an ion beam source(s) that generates the ion beam(s) used for the ion beam treatment.
