Ion implantation is a potential means of increasing the oxidation resistance of Cu. However, carbonaceous contamination can also be introduced onto the metal surface during this process as a consequence of pump oil within the vacuum system. This can complicate analysis of the effect of ion implantation on Cu oxidation. The present study examined the surface contamination introduced during He+implantation. Carbonaceous contamination was indeed identified on the Cu surface and had an obvious passivation effect on Cu oxidation at 200 °C. This was ascribed to the implantation of C into the Cu to a depth of several nanometers in conjunction with He+implantation. The Cu was protected from oxidation by the formation of a layer consisting of C, Cu and a small amount of Cu2O that block the contact of Cu substrate and ambient air.
