Improving mechanical properties of a-CNx films by Ti-TiN/CNx gradient multilayer

Amorphous carbon nitride (a-CN_x) films with functional gradient Ti-TiN/CN_x underlayer were deposited by direct current magnetron sputtering. Microstructure and composition of the films were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, atomic force microscope (AFM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Mechanical and tribological properties were investigated by nanoindenter, scratch and ball-on-disk tribometer. The a-CN_x-based films suffer a graphitization process with the increasing deposition temperature, thus the hardness and elastic modulus decrease. With the design of the Ti-TiN/CN_x gradient underlayers, some important advantages of relatively thick CN_x films can be achieved, such as increased hardness, improved adhesion strength, and the wear resistance of the a-CN_x-based films can be also improved significantly.

Influence of temperature on structure as well as adhesion and friction and wear behavior of hydrogenated carbon nitride films prepared on silicon substrate

Hydrogenated-carbon nitride (CN_x:H) films were synthesized on silicon substrate in a large quantity by the pyrolysis of ethylenediamine in a temperature range of 700-950 °C. The influence of temperature on the morphology, structure, adhesion to substrate, and friction and wear behavior of CN_x:H films was investigated. It has been found that CN_x:H films obtained at 700 °C and 800 °C are amorphous, and those prepared at 900 °C and 950 °C consist of carbon nitride nanocrystal. Besides, CN_x:H film sample obtained at 700 °C has the maximum N content of 9.1 at.% but the poorest adhesion to Si substrate, while the one prepared at 900 °C has the lower N content and the highest adhesion to substrate. As a result, nanocrystalline CN_x:H (nc-CN_x:H) film synthesized at 900 °C possesses the best wear resistance when slides against stainless steel counterpart. N atom is incorporated into the graphitic network in three different bonding forms, and their relative content is closely related to temperature, corresponding to different adhesion as well as friction and wear behavior of the films obtained at different temperatures. Furthermore, the friction coefficient and antiwear life of as-deposited CN_x:H films vary with varying deposition temperature and thickness, and the film with thickness of 1.3 μm, obtained at 900 °C, has the longest antiwear life of over 180,000 s.     

Diamond-like carbon films deposited by a hybrid ECRCVD system

A novel hybrid technique for diamond-like carbon (DLC) film deposition has been developed. This technique combines the electron cyclotron resonance chemical vapor deposition (ECRCVD) of C₂H₂ and metallic magnetron sputtering. Here we described how DLC film is used for a variety of applications such as stamper, PCB micro-tools, and threading form-tools by taking advantage of hybrid ECRCVD system. The structure of the DLC films is delineated by a function of bias voltages by Raman spectroscopy. This function includes parameters such as dependence of G peak positions and the intensity ratio (I_D/I_G). Atomic force microscope (AFM) examines the root-mean-square (R.M.S.) roughness and the surface morphology. Excellent adhesion and lower friction coefficients of a DLC film were also assessed.     

Investigations of the sorption behaviour of amorphous nitrogen-rich carbon nitride films as sensitive layers for cantilever-based chemical sensors

We present investigations of the sorption behaviour of amorphous nitrogen-rich carbon nitride films (CN_x) towards water vapour and volatile organic compounds, for example methanol, ethanol, i-propanol and acetone, in order to evaluate their potential as sensitive layers for cantilever-based chemical sensor applications. The CN_x films were deposited by inductively coupled plasma chemical vapour deposition (ICP-CVD) utilizing transport reactions from a solid carbon source. In order to study the influence of the thickness of the sensitive layer on its sensitivity and selectivity, two series of cantilevers coated with 120 nm and 240 nm CN_x films were prepared. We found that the variation of the film thickness affected the sorption process of the CN_x film quantitatively as well as qualitatively. For thin films (120 nm), the sensor dynamic responses (frequency shift) increased with increasing molecular weight of the analytes. The largest responses were observed towards acetone and i-propanol ; here, the cantilever acted as a resonant microbalance. When the film thickness was increased from 120 to 240 nm, the analytes with higher dipole moments caused stronger response signals. In this case we observed, for example, an increase of the sensitivity towards methanol by a factor of more than three. The performance of the cantilever-based sensors functionalised with CN_x coatings was compared to that of organic polymers, and the observed peculiarities were explained by the chemical nature of the sensitive materials.

Characterization of ceramic PVD thin films on AZ31 magnesium alloys

Ceramic thin films have been widely used to protect the metal substrate as coatings in the past years. In order to improve the poor corrosion resistance of AZ31 magnesium alloy, the study in this paper used the electron beam evaporation method to prepare ceramic PVD films on its surface with TiO₂ and Al₂O₃ as donors, respectively. Atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS), Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to investigate the surface morphology, composition and microstructure of the thin films. Both films deposited on AZ31 took on compact top surface morphologies and grew as amorphous structures on substrate. AES test not only showed that films compositions deviated the standard stoichiometric ratios, but also found that element Mg diffused into films and existed as magnesium oxide in the TiO_x film as well as the AlO_x film. In the electrochemical corrosion test, the AlO_x coating on AZ31 exhibited the largest electrochemical impedance in a 3.5% NaCl solution. But it did not show better corrosion resistance than others for the poorer adhesion. Even if its thickness was small, the TiO_x coating on AZ31 exhibited the best corrosion resistance in this study. According to the observation and analysis, the damage of these films on AZ31 in aggressive solutions was mainly due to the existence of pores, microcracks, vacancies and poor adhesion between coating and substrate.     

In vitro investigation of protein adsorption and platelet adhesion on inorganic biomaterial surfaces

The aim of this paper was to study the surface properties, protein adsorption and platelet adhesion behaviors of diamond-like carbon (DLC) and titanium (Ti) films. The surface energy and microstructures of these films were characterized by contact angle measurement and atomic force microscopy (AFM). A modified Coomassie brilliant blue (CBB) protein assay was used to study the amount of adsorbed proteins. Platelet adhesion was assessed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The AFM results show that the DLC film is smoother than Ti. Protein adsorption results from CBB protein assay show that the ratio of adsorbed albumin (Alb) to IgG (R_A/I) on DLC is larger than Ti, which coincide with the sequence of the ratio of interfacial tension between solid surface and Alb (γ_S,Alb) to interfacial tension between surface and IgG (γ_S,IgG) (γ_S,Alb/γ_S,IgG). The DLC film has a preferential adsorption for Alb. The results suggest that the ratio of γ_S,Alb/γ_S,IgG may indicate an Alb/IgG affinity ratio of materials. More platelets adhere on Ti film than on DLC, which may correspond to the surface roughness of materials. The conclusion is the blood compatibility of DLC seems to be better than Ti.

The study of ion mixed amorphous carbon films on single crystal silicon by C ion implantation

Amorphous-carbon (a-C) films were deposited on a single-crystal silicon substrate by vacuum vapor deposition system and these amorphous carbon films were implanted with 110 keV C⁺ at fluences of 1 × 10¹⁷ ions/cm². The effect of ion mixing on the surface morphology, friction behavior and adhesion strengths of amorphous carbon films was examined making use of atomic force microscopy (AFM), ball-on-disk reciprocating friction tester, nano-indentation system and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The changes in chemical composition and structure were investigated by using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results show that the anti-wear life and adhesion of amorphous carbon films on the Si substrates were significantly increased by C ion implantation. The SiC chemical bonding across the interface plays a key role in the increase of adhesion strength and the anti-wear life of amorphous carbon film. The friction and wear mechanisms of amorphous carbon film under dry friction condition were also discussed.
