Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of thin film preparation methods, and in particular to a PVD-based yttrium oxide thin film and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Physical vapor deposition is an important method for preparing thin films, which mainly includes vacuum evaporation, magnetron sputtering and cathode arc ion plating.

[0003] During the evaporation process of vacuum evaporation, the evaporation rate of the film material and its influencing factors are closely related to its saturated vapor pressure. Therefore, vacuum evaporation technology is restricted by the properties of the material, and the evaporation of alloy materials will lead to component segregation. Compared with cathode arc ion plating, magnetron sputtering has lower deposition efficiency, lower atomic ionization rate, greater stress in the prepared film structure, and poor winding and bonding properties of magnetron sputtering. Cathode arc ion plating helps the occurrence of ionization, and O2 is no exception. However, when O2 is excessive or the original electric field changes, O2 is more likely to react on the cathode target surface to generate oxides, thereby causing the failure of cathode discharge and unable to output the required elements normally, which is "poisoning". Take the preparation of aluminum oxide coating as an example: Al and AlTi materials are relatively more likely to react with O2, so the conventional practice is to add a certain amount of Cr to the Al material to prevent the oxidation of the target surface. However, the stability of chromium oxide is relatively poor, which will lead to changes in the performance of the oxide coating. Therefore, none of the existing methods can meet the requirements.

[0024] A yttrium oxide film has a thickness of 5 to 20 μm and is cubic yttrium oxide and monoclinic yttrium oxide.

[0120] Figure 1 The cross-sectional SEM image of the coating obtained in the present invention shows that the average thickness of the coating is 7.921 μm.

[0121] The coating was tested by EDS, and the results are shown in Table 1

[0122] Table 1. EDS test results of coating components

[0123]

[0124] The XRD patterns of the samples obtained in Example 1 and Example 2 are as follows: Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, from Figure 2It can be seen that when Al is used as the substrate, the main phase of the coating is cubic Y2O3, containing monoclinic Y2O3. When Al2O3 is used as the substrate, the main phase is cubic Y2O3, with a very small amount of monoclinic Y2O3.

[0126] Table 2. Hardness test results of the coatings obtained in Example 1 and Example 2

[0127]

[0128] It can be seen from the test results that the hardness of the coating prepared by the present invention is much higher than that of bulk Y2O3.

[0129] The present invention adopts glow etching to utilize the weak high-voltage glow discharge characteristics of argon gas, which can suppress or reduce the arc phenomenon on the surface of the insulating material in the early stage, thereby protecting the surface morphology of the material. Gas ion source etching is used to clean the surface of the parts to be plated, and for insulating parts, the occurrence of abnormal surface discharge phenomena is avoided. The Y2O3 coating is prepared by cathode arc ion plating, and the obtained coating thickness can meet the requirements. Pulse bias technology is usually used to solve the problem of positive charge accumulation on the surface insulating film. The CAS DC electromagnetic field is mainly used to solve the problem of weakening ion deposition energy. The DC voltage range is 0.5 to 3.0V. Its purpose is to push the evaporated atoms or ions to the near surface of the workpiece to react, thereby ensuring the stability of the insulating Y2O3 deposition rate and achieving the film thickness required by the process.

[0130] By changing the voltage (10-30V) and the pulse frequency of 13.3-33Hz, the lateral movement speed and trajectory of the arc spot can be controlled. The purpose is to maintain the effective evaporation target surface at a certain level during the long-term deposition of the oxide film to avoid being "poisoned". The selection of control parameters (pulsed magnetic field) is mainly related to the reaction gas, material, and oxide film performance. One of the key technologies for cathodic arc oxide coating technology is how to avoid the occurrence of target surface poisoning. The poisoning of the target surface can be effectively controlled during the long-term deposition process. The evaporation area of ​​Φ75 and Φ50 depends on the material and oxide film performance index requirements (including the film's phase structure, mechanical properties, oxygen content, and physical properties).

[0131] The various steps of the present invention are interrelated, coordinated and indispensable to obtain a large-sized Y2O3 coating. The thickness of the film during physical vapor deposition is closely related to the distance from the target surface to the workpiece surface. For a specific large-sized workpiece (with a diameter of not less than 1000 mm), the spatial position relationship between the CAS and the workpiece is designed to ensure that any point on the surface of the workpiece to be coated maintains a distance from the CAS in the range of 150 to 300 mm, thereby ensuring the consistency of the thickness of the Y2O3 film.
