A novel Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC) was designed with Diamond-Like Carbon(DLC) electrodes and performance studies were carried out for 384$\,\mathrm{\mum}$ gap configuration with a $2\,\mathrm{cm}\times2\,\mathrm{cm}$ prototype.The use of thin films coated with DLC enables an ultra-low mass design of $<0.1\%\,X_0$ with up to a four-layer configuration. At the same time, 42% MIPefficiency, and 180 ps timing resolution per layer were achieved in ameasurement performed under a $1\,\mathrm{MHz/cm^2}$ non-MIP charged particlebeam. In addition, we propose a further improved design for a$20\,\mathrm{cm}$-scale detector that can achieve 90% four-layer efficiency inan even higher $4\,\mathrm{MHz/cm^2}$ beam. In this paper, we describe thedetector design, present the results of performance measurements, andcharacterize the rate capability of the DLC-based RPCs with a performanceprojection for an improved design.
