Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of material surface treatment, and particularly relates to a material surface hydrogen-containing diamond-like carbon (ta-C:H) film and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Diamond-like Carbon (DLC) film was first prepared by Asienberg and Chabot of the United States in 1971 under room temperature conditions by ion beam deposition method. It is an amorphous carbon film containing diamond phase. After 50 years of research, the preparation technology and analysis testing means of the DLC film have been continuously developed. The carbon atoms in the DLC are mainly combined in sp3 hybridization bonds (diamond structure) and sp2 hybridization bonds (graphite structure), so the DLC has the characteristics of diamond and graphite, and has excellent properties such as high hardness, low friction coefficient, chemical inertness and small thermal expansion coefficient, and is an ideal material in the fields of machinery, electronics, aviation, medicine and acoustics.
[0003] Due to the differences in the source of carbon and the preparation method, the DLC film can be divided into two types: hydrogen-free diamond-like carbon film (a-C) and hydrogenated diamond-like carbon film (a-C:H). By determining the content of H in the film, the diamond-like film can be divided into two types: hydrogen-free and hydrogen-containing. According to the content of sp3 hybridization bonds in the film, the hydrogen-free DLC film is divided into amorphous carbon (a-C, with low sp3 hybridization bond content) and tetrahedral carbon (ta-C, with high sp3 hybridization bond content); the hydrogen-containing DLC film is divided into hydrogen-containing amorphous carbon (a-C:H, with low sp3 hybridization bond content) and tetrahedral hydrogen-containing amorphous carbon (ta-C:H, with high sp3 hybridization bond content). Too much hydrogen will reduce the adhesion and hardness of the coating and increase the internal stress. The hydrogen in the DLC will slowly release at a high temperature, causing the coating to work unstably. Tetrahedral amorphous carbon film (ta-C) is a type of diamond-like carbon, which is a series of hydrogen-free amorphous carbon films with sp3 bond content of 80% to 90%. It has high hardness, high elastic modulus, good chemical resistance and thermal shock resistance, and has the advantages of uniform organization, large-area deposition, low cost and smooth surface. However, due to the large difference in properties such as thermal expansion coefficient and elastic modulus between the ta-C film deposited on the substrate surface and the substrate, and due to the large growth stress in the film during preparation, the ta-C film generally has a large stress and a low adhesion strength to the substrate, which greatly limits its practical application.
[0004] The sp3 content of the ta-C:H film containing hydrogen is about 70%, which is slightly lower than that of the ta-C film (80-88%) without hydrogen. The hardness of the ta-C:H film is about 50 GPa, while the hardness of the ta-C film can reach 80 GPa. Although the ta-C:H film has certain differences in sp3 content and hardness compared with the ta-C film, it still has higher comprehensive performance compared with other amorphous DLC films. However, the ta-C:H film has a relatively narrow process window due to the harsh preparation process parameters, so the research and application of the ta-C:H film are less, which greatly limits the development of the film.
[0005] There are many methods for preparing the diamond-like carbon film, such as ion beam assisted deposition, magnetron sputtering, vacuum cathode arc deposition, plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition, and pulsed laser deposition. Due to the different characteristics of each preparation technology, the prepared films have great differences in performance. Since the ta-C:H film is a kind of DLC film next to the ta-C film, the existing problem is that the process window is narrow. If a suitable preparation technology is developed, the research and application of the film can be effectively promoted. SUMMARY
