Definitions

  • the invention relates to temperable diamond-like carbon coatings and a method for their production with the aid of high-power pulsed magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS).
  • HiPIMS high-power pulsed magnetron sputtering
  • Diamond-like carbon (DLC) thin films are generally well suited for improving the scratch resistance of a surface, since they have a low coefficient of friction and a sufficiently high hardness.
  • WO 2004/071981 A1 describes a method for depositing DLC layers by means of ion beam technology.
  • CN 104962914 A describes a vapor deposition device for the industrial production of DLC layers.
  • CN 105441871 A relates to a device for physical vapor deposition and high-performance pulse magnetron sputtering for the production of thick DLC coatings.
  • WO 2016/171627 A1 relates to the coating of a substrate, the coating comprising a carbon layer such as DLC, which can be applied by means of physical vapor deposition, e.g. by means of high-power pulse magnetron sputtering. Further methods and devices for DLC coating are mentioned, for example, in CN 20383434012 and JP 2011-068940.
  • WO 2019/020481 A1 describes a method for depositing DLC layers using a PECVD magnetron method.
  • DLC coatings are their temperature sensitivity. At high temperatures the DLC graphitizes (shift from sp 3 to sp 2 coordination of the carbon atoms) and simply burns to CO2 at temperatures of> 400 ° C. Since glass hardening processes (tempering) require temperatures of up to 700 ° C, pure DLC coatings on glass simply disappear if they are not protected from oxidation.
  • temperable DLC coatings are based on Si doping of the DLC layer itself in order to improve the temperature resistance.
  • Another approach which is described, for example, in WO 2004/071981, US 7060322 B2, US 8443627 or US 8580336 B2, uses protective and release layers to prevent the DLC layer from burning off during tempering.
  • substrate e.g. glass
  • base layer e.g. DLC
  • release layer e.g. anti-oxidation layer
  • a substrate with such a coating can be tempered, the DLC layer being adequately protected.
  • the release and anti-oxidation layers must, however, be quite thick (> 100 nm) in order to achieve adequate protection of the functional DLC layer. Removal of the release and protective layers after tempering is also very laborious and usually requires washing in acetic acid solution.
  • WO 2004/071981 A1 describes, for example, release layers based on substoichiometric ZnO.
  • EP 2146937 describes anti-oxidation layers which contain aluminum nitride.
  • WO 2019/020485 A1 describes layer systems in which release layers containing Mg or Sn are used. The deposition takes place by means of plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition (PECVD).
  • PECVD plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition
  • a problem with the deposition of these layer systems using classic PECVD is that after tempering the glass substrate and removing the release and protective layers, a very cloudy appearance is often obtained, which is undesirable for indoor applications on glass.
  • the mechanical resistance of the DLC worsens after tempering in comparison to the DLC after deposition and is not significantly better than with uncoated tempered float glass, as the Erichsen scratch tests (EST) and m-scratch tests show (Fig. 1a and Fig. 1 b).
  • US 2012/015196 A1 discloses a method for producing a coated substrate, wherein a glass substrate with at least one DLC layer and an overlying protective layer is subjected to a heat treatment.
  • the protective layer can include a barrier layer that blocks oxygen.
  • the protective layer can be removed again during or after the heat treatment.
  • US 2018/051368 A1 describes an amorphous carbon film which comprises at least 95% carbon, the proportion of sp 3 -hybridized carbon being at least 30% and the hydrogen content being at most 5%.
  • the carbon film is deposited using HiPIMS.
  • the invention is based on the object of overcoming the above-described disadvantages in the prior art.
  • the object is, in particular, to provide a method for producing a temperable coating system containing a DLC layer on a substrate, in which the DLC coating has no haze and maintains the good mechanical properties with regard to scratch resistance, in particular compared to uncoated tempered float glass
  • the invention also relates to a coated substrate which can be obtained by the method according to the invention.
  • Preferred refinements of the invention are given in the dependent claims.
  • the invention thus relates to a method for producing a substrate with a coating comprising a layer of diamond-like carbon (DLC), comprising the application of a layer of diamond-like carbon (DLC), the layer of diamond-like carbon (DLC) being produced by a plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) ) - Method with plasma generation via a magnetron target (magnetron PECVD) with at least one Carbon-containing reactant gas is deposited in a vacuum chamber by means of high-power pulsed magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS).
  • DLC diamond-like carbon
  • PECVD plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition
  • HiPIMS high-power pulsed magnetron sputtering
  • PECVD plasma-assisted CVD
  • ions are also generated in the plasma which, together with the radicals formed from the reaction gas and electrons of the plasma, result in the layer deposited on the substrate.
  • the plasma is generated in the vacuum chamber in the presence of a reactant gas which according to the invention must contain at least carbon in order to obtain the desired layer of diamond-like carbon.
  • the inventors have established that the decisive factor for the quality of the DLC layer obtained is the manner in which the plasma used to support the PECVD process was generated.
  • the generation of a plasma in the PECVD method usually takes place, for example, by applying an alternating voltage or direct voltage between two electrodes or alternatively by inductive irradiation of an electromagnetic alternating field.
  • the proportion of ionized molecules in the plasma can vary greatly, resulting in different product properties of the deposited layers.
  • high-power pulse magnetron sputtering HiPIMS
  • HiPIMS high-power pulse magnetron sputtering
  • the inventors When using HiPIMS to generate plasma, the inventors were able to determine an improved scratch resistance of the resulting DLC layer compared to DLC layers deposited by other methods, for example plasmas generated using bipolar or medium-frequency power supply. This improvement in the layer quality is accompanied by the higher degree of ionization achieved by HiPIMS.
  • DLC diamond-like carbon
  • a release layer composed of one or more layers, each layer independently of one another being a metallic or nitridic layer, and
  • the use of this DLC deposition process gives DLC coatings of excellent mechanical quality (high scratch resistance).
  • at least one release layer and at least one oxidation protection layer are applied to the surface of the DLC layer facing away from the substrate.
  • the release layer and the anti-oxidation layer can easily be removed by dipping in water and gently wiping or brushing.
  • the DLC coatings showed good optical quality (no haze) after the heat treatment.
  • this high optical quality can also be achieved for known layer structures, such as those described in WO 2019/020485, using HiPIMS as the DLC deposition method according to the invention, and cloudiness is avoided.
  • the method can be implemented for existing magnetron deposition machines using high power pulse magnetron sputtering.
