Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a watch component. It also relates to a watch component as such obtained by such a manufacturing process.
  • a watch movement component is often smaller in size, and includes functional parts of very precise geometry, which must not be altered. Thus, it is very difficult to make a marking on such a watch movement component, for example for the purpose of identification or decoration.
  • the present invention particularly aims to find a solution for marking and/or decorating a watch component, in particular a watch movement component, which makes it possible to achieve a particularly attractive visual effect without deteriorating the functionality of the component. .
  • the invention implements a method of manufacturing a watch component which advantageously combines at least one engraving step and a coloring step of said engraving obtained, so as to obtain a visible engraving which does not impact the functional performance of 'a component of movement.
  • the manufacturing process according to one embodiment of the invention will be illustrated in the context of the manufacturing of a watch movement component, which can for example be a spiral spring.
  • THE figures 1a to 1g illustrate more particularly sectional views of a watch component 1, in particular a watch movement component, or of a blank 1a of the watch component 1, during the different stages of its manufacture according to one embodiment of a manufacturing process of the watch component.
  • the manufacturing process of the invention focuses more particularly on a specific phase of manufacturing, relating to a process for engraving a surface.
  • this is a process for engraving a visible surface or an upper surface of the watch component 1, in particular for decorative purposes.
  • it could also be a process of engraving a non-visible surface or a lower surface, in particular for identification or marking purposes.
  • the method comprises a first step consisting of making available E1 at least one portion of a watch component 1 or of a blank 1a of the watch component 1, specifically shown in section on the figure 1a .
  • a first step consisting of making available E1 at least one portion of a watch component 1 or of a blank 1a of the watch component 1, specifically shown in section on the figure 1a .
  • several blanks 1a can be linked to the same support or substrate 10a, and simultaneously be subject to the process which will be described below and the steps of which are summarized by the flowchart of the figure 2 .
  • the watch component blanks 1a can therefore be manufactured by micro-manufacturing operations from a substrate 10a, which is preferably made of micro-machinable material or based on micro-machinable material.
  • a substrate 10a which is preferably made of micro-machinable material or based on micro-machinable material.
  • the term blank in the broad sense, to designate any intermediate element in the manufacturing process of the watch component.
  • the blank can be a simple substrate made available and not yet engraved, or a substrate already partially engraved, for example to define all or part of the outline of the future watch component.
  • the terms blank 1a or watch component 1 will be alternately used to designate the same component, even if watch component 1 is still being manufactured.
  • the portion of the blank 1a on which the invention is implemented comprises a surface 11 which will be specifically treated by the method according to the invention, with the aim of creating visible patterns or indications on this surface 11, as follows will be detailed later.
  • the substrate 10a may be made of a micro-machinable material or based on a micro-machinable material.
  • the substrate may comprise all or part of the silicon, in any form. It can thus include monocrystalline silicon whatever its orientation, polycrystalline silicon, amorphous silicon, amorphous silicon dioxide, doped silicon whatever the type and level of doping. It can in particular be in the form of an SOI (silicon on insulator) substrate. Alternatively, it may include quartz, diamond, glass, ceramic, ruby, sapphire, or silicon carbide. Alternatively, it may be made of metal or a metal alloy, in particular an at least partially amorphous metal alloy. For example, it may comprise nickel or nickel-phosphorus, or even steel, titanium, a gold alloy, or a platinum alloy.
  • FIG. 1b illustrates a second step of the process consisting of engraving E3 said surface 11 of the watch component 1 or of a blank 1a of the watch component 1 to form at least one cavity 7.
  • the engraving is carried out by the technology of deep ionic reactive engraving (DRIE acronym in English).
  • DRIE deep ionic reactive engraving
  • This technique makes it possible to form cavities 7 with vertical or substantially vertical sides 18 to the right of the openings of a layer of resin forming a mask, without impacting the areas of the surface 11 covered with the layer of resin.
  • the etching step etches the silicon, so as to form at least one cavity 7.
  • Each cavity 7 has a section of substantially rectangular shape, delimited by a surface forming a bottom 17, substantially parallel to the surface 11 of the component .
  • the depth of a cavity is measured perpendicular to the surface 11, and corresponds to the respective distance between the planes of the surface 11 and the bottom 17 of the cavity. More generally, the at least one cavity 7 has sides 18 forming advantageously a discontinuity relative to the rest of the surface 11 of the blank 1a.
  • the depth of at least one or all of the cavities 7 is less than 10 ⁇ m.
  • this depth is preferably equal to or greater than the thickness of a layer of silicon dioxide 13, which is optional.
  • such a step consisting of etching E3 by deep ionic reactive etching also makes it possible to obtain a bottom 17 whose surface state is in particular characterized by a particularly low roughness, with in particular a bottom 17 having a roughness Ra less than 50 nm, preferably of the order of 20 nm, or less than 20 nm, and/or a roughness Sa less than 100 nm, preferably of the order of 80 nm, or less than 80 nm, which allows the brightness of the layer of material subsequently deposited on such a background 17 to be revealed, as will be explained.
  • this step consisting of engraving E3 the surface 11 of the watch component 1 is advantageously carried out in the same operation as a step consisting of engraving a contour of said watch component 1.
  • this step consisting of engraving E3 said surface of the portion of said watch component 1 can be carried out before a step consisting of engraving a contour of said watch component 1.
  • the method can comprise a step of positioning a first mask, not shown, on the substrate 10a, in particular on said surface 11 of said substrate 10a, so as to carry out the step consisting of etching E3 at least one cavity 7 from this first mask, in particular blind etching, by deep ion reactive etching (DRIE) technology, and a step of positioning a second mask, not shown, on said substrate 10a, in particular on another surface of said substrate 10a, so as to engrave an outline of the blank 1a of watch component 1 from this second mask.
  • DRIE deep ion reactive etching
  • the engraving serving to cut the component from the substrate and the engraving forming at least one cavity according to the invention can be carried out in the same operation, or partially in the same operation. These two engravings are made from different masks.
  • DRIE deep reactive ion etching
  • the engraving may include the implementation of laser engraving, in particular by a femtosecond laser.
  • the method then comprises, in one embodiment of use of a substrate 10a comprising all or part of the silicon, an optional step consisting of oxidizing E8 the surface of the blank 1a.
  • the surface 11 of the blank 1a then comprises a layer of silicon dioxide (SiO 2 ) 13.
  • This layer of silicon dioxide 13 is in particular formed on the upper surface 11, including at least one bottom 17 of a cavity 7
  • this layer of silicon dioxide 13 is notably formed on the upper surface 11 and on at least one bottom 17 of a cavity.
  • the method then comprises a step consisting of depositing E7 a metallic or metallic alloy layer 22 on said surface 11 of the blank 1a, both in the at least one cavity 7, more precisely on the bottom 17 of the at least one cavity 7, and outside of at least one cavity 7.
  • this metallic layer or metal alloy 22 is a layer of chromium.
  • the metal or metal alloy may be aluminum, or titanium, or an alloy of aluminum, chromium, or titanium.
  • This step consisting of depositing E7 the metal or metal alloy layer 22 can be carried out by a directional deposition, in particular a physical vapor deposition (PVD), in particular by a deposition by thermal evaporation by electron beam (EBE).
  • PVD physical vapor deposition
  • EBE thermal evaporation by electron beam
