Description

DLC/Me-C composite film and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention discloses a DLC/Me-C composite film and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the technical field of preparation of diamond-like carbon film materials.
Background
The diamond-like carbon film has excellent mechanics, friction resistance and corrosion resistance, can be deposited at low temperature, and has great application potential in the fields of tribology, biomedicine and the like. However, the diamond-like thin film has a characteristic of high internal stress, which makes the film base binding force very weak and the thickness of the diamond-like thin film is very limited. For this purpose, transition layers or dopings have to be added to the diamond-like film. Doping can weaken certain aspects of the diamond-like film. Finding a suitable transition layer is therefore key to facilitating diamond-like thin film applications. The transition layer not only affects the binding force of the diamond-like carbon film, but also greatly affects the corrosion resistance, so that the bonding strength with the substrate and the diamond-like carbon film is high, the self corrosion resistance is high, and the corrosion of the film or the substrate is not accelerated.
At present, diamond-like carbon films mainly comprise three preparation methods of cathodic arc deposition, Plasma Enhanced CVD (PECVD) and magnetron sputtering.
Cathodic arc was the first method used to deposit diamond-like thin films by depositing carbon atoms on a substrate under the action of a strong electric field, with the main drawbacks: 1, the prepared diamond-like carbon film has extremely high internal stress, so that the thickness of the diamond-like carbon film is limited to be nano-scale, and a transition layer is difficult to add or dope; 2, a large amount of graphite particles are bombarded out by the strong electric field and finally deposited on the substrate, a high-quality diamond-like carbon film cannot be obtained, the graphite particles are reduced by adding the magnetic filtering device, a large part of carbon ions or atoms are filtered at the same time, the deposition efficiency is reduced, and the filtering device is complex and has high cost. Although the magnetic filtration cathode arc can prepare the diamond-like carbon film with high sp3C content, the diamond-like carbon film cannot be applied industrially and is not favored by enterprises.
The PECVD method for preparing the diamond-like carbon film has high deposition efficiency, the diamond-like carbon film has high sp3C content and relatively low internal stress, and the comprehensive performance is excellent, however, the doping elements of the diamond-like carbon film must be input in an atmosphere form, which greatly hinders the preparation of the metal doped diamond-like carbon film.
The magnetron sputtering mainly comprises ion source auxiliary magnetron sputtering and direct-current bias magnetron sputtering; the diamond-like carbon film prepared by ion source assisted magnetron sputtering has high bonding strength and a plurality of varieties, but has poor comprehensive performance and high ion source and maintenance cost. When the diamond-like carbon film is prepared by the direct current bias magnetron sputtering, the metal target is insulated because the carbide and the like are generated and accumulated on the surface of the target during sputtering, positive ions bombarding the target surface are accumulated on the target surface, the target potential is increased, the electric field between the electrodes is gradually reduced until the glow discharge is extinguished and the sputtering is stopped, and meanwhile, because the conductivity of the DLC film is poor, the direct current bias effect is weakened or even does not work any more, and the deposition thickness of the film is limited. In the three different preparation methods, substrate bias is necessary, but because the conductivity of the diamond-like carbon film is extremely low, the prior art generally adopts direct current bias, so that the influence of the substrate bias on the structure of the diamond-like carbon film is weakened along with the increase of the deposition thickness, and the diamond-like carbon film completely fails when the thickness reaches 4 mu m.
In addition, due to the defects of the DLC film, the electrolyte diffuses to the substrate along the defects, forming microcell corrosion, with a very fast corrosion rate even exceeding that of substrates without film protection, resulting in poor long-term corrosion resistance of the DLC film protected substrate. Although the prior art has a structure adopting a transition layer, the prior art does not solve the potential problem among a film layer, the transition layer and a substrate, and the corrosion resistance of the prior art is unsatisfactory.
In conclusion, the prior art has the defects of non-ideal film-substrate binding force, large film internal stress, non-ideal corrosion resistance, high preparation cost and the like, so an effective solution is urgently needed.

According to various defects of the prior art, the invention provides the radio frequency bias auxiliary magnetron sputtering deposition DLC, and radio frequency biases of different sizes can be applied to the substrate, so that the diamond-like carbon film with high bonding strength of the film base and excellent mechanical property, friction resistance and corrosion resistance can be efficiently prepared. By changing the radio frequency bias voltage, the ratio between sp2 and sp3 in the diamond-like carbon film can be changed, and the structure of the diamond-like carbon film can be effectively regulated in a large range. The invention can dope DLC or prepare transition layer by introducing gas doping source or using metal target. The invention selects the Me-C transition layer as a buffer layer between the DLC film and the substrate, solves the problem of overhigh stress in the DLC film, further improves the DLC performance, uses Ar and N plasmas to bombard the substrate under the condition of high radio frequency bias pressure before the Me-C transition layer is prepared, prepares the amorphous modified layer on the substrate, and has the advantages of improving the surface state of the substrate to enable the surface to be more compact, improving the bonding performance between the substrate and the transition layer, reducing the corrosion potential between the substrate and a second phase and the like.
The invention has the following advantages due to the adoption of the process method and the film layer structure:
1. the preparation method has the advantage of preparing the diamond-like carbon film with excellent comprehensive performance at low cost and high efficiency by adopting a radio frequency bias auxiliary magnetron sputtering preparation technology. The technology can use radio frequency bias to carry out ion cleaning on the substrate so as to improve the bonding force, can also use the radio frequency bias to improve the ionization rate of the carbon-containing atmosphere and simultaneously apply the substrate bias to improve the mechanical property, and the magnetron target can deposit a transition layer and provide doping elements or use a graphite target to prepare the intrinsic diamond-like carbon film.
The rf substrate bias also has the advantage that the bias effect does not decrease significantly with increasing film thickness. Because the radio frequency power supply is alternating current and acts on the target periodically and alternately, when the sputtering target is in a positive half cycle, electrons flow to the target surface to neutralize positive charges accumulated on the surface of the target and accumulate the electrons to enable the surface of the target to present negative bias, and positive ions are attracted to bombard the target material in a negative half cycle of the radio frequency voltage, so that the sputtering process is continuously carried out, and the target poisoning phenomenon is reduced or prevented; in addition, the rf voltage can pass through any kind of impedance, so when the DLC film is deposited thick, the bias can be continued without being affected by the thickness because the DLC film itself has a weak shielding effect against the rf power source.
2. Preparing amorphous transition layer to improve film-substrate binding force
1) The amorphous modified layer improves the surface state of the matrix and enables the surface to be more compact;
because the amorphous layer has the characteristics of uniform single phase, more uniform composition and structure, less fluctuation of the composition, no obvious crystal boundary, no second-phase particles or dislocation and the like, the preparation of the amorphous modified layer on the surface of the matrix can greatly improve the uneven state of the metal or alloy surface of the matrix and eliminate the defects of holes or pores, cracks, pinholes and the like existing on the surface of the matrix, thereby greatly reducing the number of corrosion core defects on the surface of the matrix and improving the corrosion resistance of the composite film structure.
2) The amorphous modified layer reduces the corrosion potential between the matrix and the second phase;
the ion bombardment or etching in the process of preparing the amorphous layer can lead the substrate or impurity elements in the substrate and the same ions to be chemically combined to generate a new phase with a similar structure, thereby increasing the chemical uniformity of the surface of the substrate and reducing the corrosion potential between the original substrate and the second phase. In addition, the amorphous layer can suppress diffusion of an impurity element in the base body to the surface of the base body, and avoid a case where the impurity diffuses to the surface of the base body to become a core of pitting corrosion.
3) The corrosion-resistant new phase of the matrix is generated in the preparation process of the amorphous modified layer:
the ions will combine with the atoms of the matrix to form a new phase during ion bombardment or ion implantation. For example, the new Mg3N2 phase which generates the corrosion-resistant phase when N plasma bombards or N ions are implanted into the surface of the magnesium alloy substrate is the corrosion-resistant phase, thereby improving the corrosion resistance of the surface of the substrate.
4) Due to the disorder of the structural atoms of the amorphous layer, the amorphous layer has better corrosion resistance, and meanwhile, impurity ions or ions in electrolyte are difficult to move in the amorphous layer, so that the occurrence of matrix corrosion is hindered.
The invention adopts plasma to bombard the surface of metal or alloy, because of using several hundred volts or even kilovolt bias voltage, the plasma bombardment is completed under the condition of larger bias voltage, which makes the surface temperature of the substrate rise rapidly, the surface component of the substrate and the plasma component will generate certain metallurgical bonding under higher temperature, or the surface component of the substrate will dissolve again, after the plasma bombardment is finished, the bias voltage is reduced to a very low value or the deposition transition layer is directly closed, because the whole process of the plasma bombardment of the surface of the substrate only needs about 10-20 minutes, the temperature of the substrate rises rapidly to high temperature and the temperature of the surrounding environment will not rise obviously, after the bombardment of high temperature, the surface is in the surrounding environment with lower temperature, and the substrate is cooled rapidly, so the plasma bombardment is similar to a rapid melting and rapid solidification process, the fast cooling condition required for forming the amorphous layer is satisfied. In addition, when plasma bombardment is carried out under the action of high bias voltage, energetic particles impact the surface of the substrate to generate a large number of vacancies or interstitial atoms, and the point defects continuously migrate and form dislocations under the action of thermal activation. Higher dislocation densities are caused by the bombardment with high energy for longer periods of time, and because of the inherent limit of dislocation density that can be maintained on the surface of each metal or alloy, when the density of dislocations caused by the bombardment of the substrate surface with plasma exceeds this inherent limit, the internal crystal lattice of the substrate surface is broken down to cause a disordered state, and finally an amorphous layer is formed on the substrate surface.
3. Effectively improves the film base potential through the amorphous transition layer
The invention takes the plasma immersion ion implantation technology as the pretreatment mode of the deposited film, and is very suitable for implanting N ions because the needed energy is low, the efficiency is high, and the invention is easy to realize the composition with other vacuum preparation technologies. Besides the change, the corrosion resistance can be improved by changing the structure of the metal or the alloy; so that the metal or the alloy has long-term stable corrosion resistance.
4. The invention adopts the in-situ continuous preparation of the Me-C/DLC film, the Me-C film and DLC have no obvious boundary, the films are combined very tightly and basically have no defects or holes, the penetration of electrolyte is effectively blocked, and the corrosion resistance is greatly improved; in addition, in the Me-C/DLC film, Me and C are in gradient change, namely the content of the C element is gradually increased from the Me-C layer to the DLC film, and the content of the metal element Me is gradually reduced to 0; particularly, the DLC film is prepared under the condition of variable bias voltage, the DLC film structure is continuously changed, the sp3 proportion in the DLC film is gradually increased, the residual stress of the film is effectively reduced, and the quality and the performance of the film are improved.
In sum, the radio frequency bias auxiliary magnetron sputtering technology of the invention solves various defects in the prior art and has obvious advantages.
