Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for improving the color impression of titanium nitride layers by means of plasma-supported coating methods, in particular by means of
  • Magnetron nuts using a process gas consisting of an inert gas and nitrogen.
  • Decorative hard material coatings made of titanium nitride on substrates made of any material such as plastic, ceramic, metal or metal alloy can be deposited using physical coating methods such as magnetron sputtering or ion plating.
  • the color scale of such layers ranges from white to yellow to rose gold. Compared to pure gold layers, however, gold-colored titanium nitride layers are generally perceived as cold. This fact is very disruptive when using titanium nitride for decorative applications, especially as a gold substitute.
  • the color impression of the titanium nitride layers can be influenced by varying the process conditions such as bias voltage and temperature.
  • the morphology of the layer is also changed.
  • the temperature is higher, so the layers show an undesirably stalky appearance.
  • Titanium nitride layers are desired that have the outstanding physical and chemical properties of titanium nitride such as great hardness and thus high scratch resistance and corrosion resistance and also show a warm gold color.
  • the subjective impression of a warm gold color is created e.g. B. by increasing the red value or by reducing the proportion of green, ie the black haze of the layer. This is not achieved by simply increasing the nitrogen content in the titanium nitride layer, since the associated increase in the red value always goes hand in hand with a decrease in the yellow content. Therefore, reddish-brown layers are increasingly obtained.
  • the object of the invention is to increase the red value of titanium nitride layers by a simple variation of the coating conditions, or to reduce the proportion of green without influencing the yellow value of the layer. Furthermore, the process should not cause any change in the physical and chemical properties, in particular the corrosion resistance and the scratch resistance of the titanium nitride.
  • This object is achieved in that carbon is introduced into the reaction space between a target and a substrate to be coated and. that the coating is carried out at substrate temperatures of less than 250 ° C, and that the properties of the layer depend on the substrate temperature and
  • Bias voltage and the color impression can be adjusted via the carbon content. Preferred embodiments of the method according to the invention are described in subclaims 2 to 11.
  • the titanium nitride layers are deposited in a manner known per se by plasma-assisted deposition methods in a vacuum coating apparatus, preferably by magnetron sputtering.
  • a hydrocarbon is admitted to the process gases argon and nitrogen which are usually used. All saturated and unsaturated substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbons with 1 to 6, preferably 1 to 3, carbon atoms are suitable.
  • the reaction conditions, in particular the bias voltage and the temperature of the substrate, are set to values favorable for advantageous properties of use of the layer, such as adhesion, homogeneity and unity.
  • the red value of the deposited titanium nitride layers depends sensitively on the flow rate of the hydrocarbon introduced into the apparatus.
  • low substrate temperatures of less than 250 ° C, preferably 20 to 200 ° C, are used.
  • the flow rates of the hydrocarbons added to influence the color impression are between about 0.05 and 1 cm 3 / min.
  • carbon is supplied by using a titanium carbide target instead of a pure titanium target.
  • a titanium carbide target instead of a pure titanium target.
  • noble gases preferably argon
  • nitrogen are used as process gases.
  • the flow rate of the nitrogen can also be continuously reduced or increased from about the middle of the total coating time or towards the end of the coating, as a result of which the layer only has the desired color on the surface.
  • the coating is typically carried out at a residual gas pressure of less than 2.10 -6 torr.
  • Deposition rates are between 1 0 and 20 ⁇ / sec. , preferably 1 5 ⁇ / sec.
  • the argon flow rate is e.g. B. 1 0, 5 to 1 3, 5 cm 3 / min. who have favourited Sticks toff flow rate e.g. B. 2 to 1 0 cm 3 / min.
  • the flow rate of the hydrocarbon can be between 0.05 and 1 cm 3 / min. vary.
  • a gold-colored titanium nitride layer is obtained by reactive magnetron sputtering of a pure titanium target on a stainless steel workpiece.
