چکیده
Chromium-carbon films were deposited by utilizing reactive high-power impulse magnetron sputtering with different mixture ratios of ethyne and argon a constant deposition total pressure while the temperature, pulse frequency, duty cycle average power chromium cathode remain same. The microstructure chemical bonding obtained within composition compared. results show that increasing ratio, carbon content in increases linearly two slopes. Moreover, film changes from dense glassy structure into columnar structure, even clusters structure. sp2-C decreases but Cr–C decreasing ratio. This reveals main phase hydrogenated amorphous carbide phase. Such cause large difference on hardness elasticity.

Crystalline tantalum thin films of about 500nm thickness were deposited on AISI 316L stainless steel substrate using magnetron sputtering. To investigate the nano-mechanical properties of tantalum films, deposition was performed at two temperatures (25°C and 200°C) on TaNx intermediate layer with different N2/Ar flow rate ratio from 0 to 30%. Nano-indentation was performed to obtain the mechani...

Amorphous carbon films are deposited employing high power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) at pulsing frequencies of 250 Hz and 1 kHz. Films are also deposited by direct current magnetron sputtering (dcMS), for reference. In both HiPIMS and dcMS cases, unipolar pulsed negative bias voltages up to 150 V are applied to the substrate to tune the energy of the positively charged ions that bomb...

High power impulse magnetron sputtering (HIPIMS) of an Al target in Ar/O2 mixtures has been studied. The use of HIPIMS is shown to drastically influence the process characteristics compared to conventional sputtering. Under suitable conditions, oxide formation on the target as the reactive gas flow is increased is suppressed, and the hysteresis effect commonly observed as the gas flow is varied...
