Single crystal s i l i c o n surfaces ((111) n-type with resistivity of approximately 30-Ωcm) were scratched at room temperature by a dead-loaded spherical diamond indenter (0.49-1.96 N) that was translated in the [110] direction at a speed of 5cm/sec. The scratches were placed between four e l e c t r i c a l pads through which the r e s i s t i v i t y of the damage region can be recorded. The surface of the s i l i c o n was covered with a commercial lubricant additive and the concentration of the additive and the load on the diamond were systematically varied. The change in voltage as a function of time was dependent on the concentration of the lubricant additive. This suggested that the adsorption and e l e c t r o l y t i c properties of the lubricant additive are related to the extent of the subsurface damage produced by the diamond.

CONCLUSIONS 1.

The i n - s i t u e l e c t r i c a l measurement t e c h n i q u e p r o v i d e s i n f o r m a t i o n on t h e time d e p e n d e n t a n d s t e a d y state generation o f mechanical damage i n s i l i c o n during s c r a t c h i n g by a d e a d - l o a d e d s p h e r i c a l diamond. The r e l a t i v e changes i n v o l t a g e (0.98 N) a r e 3.42, 6.17, and 3.75 % and t h e s l o p e s a r e 106, 93 a n d 70 f o r t h e u n l u b r i c a t e d s u r f a c e , d e - i o n i z e d water a n d 0.100 wt% lubricant additive respectively.

2.

The change o f v o l t a g e w i t h t i m e a l s o depends on t h e dead-load on t h e diamond. The s t e a d y s t a t e v o l t a g e change increases as the l o a d increases but the i n f l u e n c e of l u b r i c a n t i s decreased.

3.

The s l o p e o f t h e v o l t a g e v e r s u s t i m e c u r v e versus alkylated surfactant concentration i s negative.
