Design and fabrication of ultra broadband infrared antireflection hard coatings on ZnSe in the range from 2 to 16 μm

In conventional infrared multilayer antireflection coatings (MLAR) materials of fluoride and chalcogenide types are used, which are disadvantaged due to their low mechanical strength and poor stability against humidity and environmental impacts. In this paper, we show that high performance ultra broadband and hard infrared multilayer antireflection coatings on ZnSe substrates in the wavelength range from 2 to 16 μm can be designed and fabricated. Diamond-like carbon (DLC) hard coating as a mechanical and environmental protection layer was proposed and deposited onto MLAR surfaces (MLAR + DLC) using a pulsed vacuum arc ion deposition technique. The thickness of the high optical quality DLC can be optimized in the design simulation to achieve a practically best antireflection and surface protection performance. We show that a germanium thin film (15 nm) between the MLAR and DLC surfaces can be used as a transition layer for optical and material match. The average transmission of the fabricated MLAR+DLC surfaces was 93.1% in the wavelength range between 2 and 16 μm. The peak transmission was about 97.6%, close to the simulated values. The durability and stability against mechanical impacts and environmental tests was improved significantly compared with the conventional infrared windows.     

Mechanical properties of the plasma-enhanced magnetron sputtering Si-C-N coatings

The mechanical properties of plasma-enhanced magnetron sputtering Si-C-N hard coatings with various compositions are characterized. The effect of chemical composition on the microstructure and properties of coating is investigated. The results show that the microstructure and mechanical properties of Si-C-N coatings are very sensitive to chemical composition. The nanocrystalline/amorphous composite structure is beneficial to the coating's mechanical properties. It also reveals that Si-C-N coating with low Si and high C concentrations has the highest hardness (≥40 GPa) and the best wear property with dry friction coefficient about 0.2.     

Functional and optical properties of Au:TiO2 nanocomposite films: The influence of thermal annealing

A set of nanocomposite thin films consisting of Au nanoclusters dispersed in a TiO₂ dielectric matrix was deposited by reactive magnetron sputtering, and subjected to thermal annealing in vacuum, at temperatures ranging from 200 to 800 °C. The obtained results show that the structure and the size of Au clusters, together with the matrix crystallinity, changed as a result of the annealing, and were shown to be able to change the optical properties of the films and keeping good mechanical properties, opening thus a wide number of possible applications. The crystallization of the gold nanoclusters induced by the annealing was followed by a systematic change in the overall coating behaviour, namely the appearance of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) behaviour. This effect enables to tailor the thin films reflectivity, absorbance and colour coordinates, contributing to the importance of this thin film system. The different attained optical characteristics (reflectance values ranging from interference to metallic-like behaviours and colour varying for interference rainbow-like to several tones of red-brownish), associated with a reasonable mechanical resistance of the coatings (good adhesion to different substrates and hardness values ranging from 5 to 7.5 GPa), induce the possibility to use this film system in a wide range of decorative applications.     

Structural and mechanical properties of compositionally gradient CrNx coatings prepared by arc ion plating

Compositionally gradient CrN_x coatings were fabricated using arc ion plating by gradually increasing N₂ flow rate during the deposition process. The effect of substrate bias, ranging from 0 to −250 V, on film microstructure and mechanical properties were systematically investigated with XRD, SEM, HRTEM, nanoindentation, adhesion and wear tests. The results show that substrate bias has an important influence on film microstructure and mechanical properties of gradient CrN_x coatings. The coatings mainly crystallized in the mixture of hexagonal Cr₂N, bcc Cr and fcc rock-salt CrN phases. N₂ flow rate change during deposition results in phase changes in order of Cr, Cr + Cr₂N, Cr₂N, Cr₂N + CrN, and CrN, respectively, along thickness direction. Phase fraction and preferred orientation in CrN_x coatings vary with substrate bias, exerting an effective influence on film hardness. With the increasing of bias, film microstructure evolves from an apparent columnar structure to a highly dense one. The maximum hardness of 39.1 GPa was obtained for the coatings deposited at a bias of −50 V with a friction coefficient of 0.55. It was also found that adhesion property and wear resistance of gradient CrN_x coatings were better than that of homogeneous CrN coatings.

Amorphous hydrogenated carbon coatings on IC packaging mold by ECR-CVD system

The surface properties of IC packaging molds such as anti-sticking, wear, and corrosion resistances can be improved by hard surface coating. In this study, Ti/TiN/TiCN/a-C:H thin film coatings were deposited on IC cavity bar molds in a hybrid PVD-ECR-CVD coating system. The structure of the a-C:H films was delineated by a function of bias voltages by Raman spectroscopy. Excellent adhesion and lower friction coefficients of a-C:H films were also assessed. According to the normal adhesion force measurement, a-C:H coating was superior to that of typical electroplated hard chromium (Ep-Cr). Performance evaluation showed that the a-C:H coating could increase the number of molding injections in IC package production lines by 216%.     

Optimization of plasma parameters for high rate deposition of titanium nitride films as protective coating on bell-metal by reactive sputtering in cylindrical magnetron device

Nano-structured titanium nitride (TiN) thin film coating is deposited by reactive sputtering in cylindrical magnetron device in argon and nitrogen gas mixtures at low temperature. This method of deposition using DC cylindrical magnetron configuration provides high uniform yield of film coating over large substrate area of different shapes desirous for various technological applications. The influence of nitrogen gas on the properties of TiN thin film as suitable surface protective coating on bell-metal has been studied. Structural morphological study of the deposited thin film carried out by employing X-ray diffraction exhibits a strong (2 0 0) lattice texture corresponding to TiN in single phase. The surface morphology of the film coating is studied using scanning electron microscope and atomic force microscope techniques. The optimized condition for the deposition of good quality TiN film coating is found to be at Ar:N₂ gas partial pressure ratio of 1:1. This coating of TiN serves a dual purpose of providing an anti-corrosive and hard protective layer over the bell-metal surface which is used for various commercial applications. The TiN film's radiant golden colour at proper deposition condition makes it a very suitable candidate for decorative applications.     

Development of novel titanium nitride-based decorative coatings by calcium addition

Calcium was added into titanium nitride coatings deposited using a hybrid magnetron sputtering-arc evaporation process. The calcium content in the films was adjusted by the variation of the pulsed DC current applied to the Ca sputtering target. X-ray diffraction analyses suggested that the increase of the calcium content induced the partial substitution of titanium atoms by calcium ones in the TiN lattice and a refinement of the grain size. Optical reflectance investigations showed that the absorption band of TiN was shifted towards higher wavelengths and that (Ti,Ca)N coatings may be suitable for decorative applications. Finally, the decrease of the film reflectivity was interpreted as a consequence of a free electron concentration decrease as confirmed from electrical resistivity measurements.     

On the combined use of scratch tests and CLA profilometry for the characterization of polyester powder coatings: Influence of scratch load and speed

The prediction of the mechanical properties of polyester powder coatings is of paramount importance, as they have to undergo a wide variety of forces and deformations during their service life. Determine the response of polymeric coatings to the actual loading conditions can be, however, very troublesome as their properties are function of the material physical state, rate-dependence and yield and break behaviour. Further, the characterization of soft, contaminated organic surfaces such as polymers can often cause severe problems with reliability and imaging accuracy due to instrumental artefacts.This is therefore the context in which this paper investigates the capability of multiple parameters scratch tests joined with non-contact CLA profilometry and FE-SEM to detect the scratch response of polyester powder coatings for protective and decorative outdoor applications. Scratch tests with blunt contact geometry were used to evaluate the response of polyester coatings baked at different time-temperature programs and, so, at different stages of their curing process. In particular, being such coatings highly non-linear in their response to mechanical stress or strain, the influence from scratch load and speed was carefully taken into account. Analytical evaluations of the experimental results led to good correlations between the extent of the deformed zone after scratch, scratch parameters and curing operational settings. This allows mapping the scratch response of the polyester topcoats to broad ranges of both scratch parameters and curing conditions.     

(Ti,Al,Si,C)N nanocomposite coatings synthesized by plasma-enhanced magnetron sputtering

Materials’ surface service property could be enhanced by transition metal nitride hard coatings due to their high hardness, wear and high temperature oxidation resistance, but the higher friction coefficient (0.4-0.9) of which aroused terrible abrasion. In this work, quinternary (Ti,Al,Si,C)N hard coating 3-4 μm was synthesized at 300 °C using plasma enhanced magnetron sputtering system. It was found that the coating's columnar crystals structure was restrained obviously with the increase of C content and a non-columnar crystals growth mode was indicated at the C content of 33.5 at.%. Both the XRD and TEM showed that the (Ti,Al,Si,C)N hard coatings had unique nanocomposite structures composed of nanocrystalline and amorphous nc-(Ti,Al)(C,N)/nc-AlN/a-Si₃N₄/a-Si/a-C. However, the coatings were still super hard with the highest hardness of 41 GPa in spite of the carbon incorporation. That a-C could facilitate the graphitization process during the friction process which could improve the coating's tribological performance. Therefore, that nanocomposite (Ti,Al,Si,C)N coatings with higher hardness (>36 GPa) and a lower friction coefficient (<0.2) could be synthesized and enhance the tribological performance and surface properties profoundly.
