Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films were deposited by laser ablation, using an ArF laser and a KrF laser. The target of laser ablation was frozen acetylene, instead of a conventional graphite. The DLC films were produced by the ArF laser between room temperature and 300{degree}C. The C-H bond was missing from the films produced by the ArF laser, while it was present for the films produced by the KrF laser. It was possible to deposit particle-free films in contrast to laser ablation of the graphite target. Experimental results suggested the importance of energetic charged species ejected from frozen acetylene. {copyright} {ital 1996 American Institute of Physics.}
