Method of enhancing a DLC coated surface for enhanced multipaction resistance

A method for creating an enhanced multipaction resistant diamond-like coating (DLC) coating with lower Secondary Electron Emission (SEE) properties is performed on an initial surface by etching a DLC coating deposited on the surface after deposition and optionally creating interlayers to enhance adhesion mechanical properties between the DLC coating and the initial surface.
