Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the adhesive strength of a hard film by forming the lower layer of Cr and the upper layer of the compound of Si or Ge in a vacuum tank by a plasma CVD method in specified gaseous atmospheres and then coating the above with a hard carbon film. CONSTITUTION:The electric potential of a base material is maintained at a level equal to the electric potential of a cathode. A film principally composed of Cr is formed to about 0.5mum thickness in the atmosphere of a gas prepared by subliming and vaporizing (C5H5)2Cr by a plasma CVD method. Further, a film composed principally of silicon or Ge is formed to about 0.5mum thickness in a gaseous atmosphere containing silicon compound or Ge compound. Subsequently, a hard carbon film is formed in a gaseous atmosphere containing hydrocarbon gas, such as CH4. By this method, the hard carbon film can be formed with superior adhesive strength on the surface, inner wall, etc., of the base material having a hollow part inside.

It is difficult to directly coat various base materials such as glass, plastic, and stainless steel with a carbon hard film, and peeling occurs due to poor adhesion. For this reason, it has been proposed to introduce an intermediate layer with a two-layer structure consisting of a lower layer mainly composed of chromium and a silicon or germanium layer, with the aim of improving the adhesion between the base material and the carbon hard film.

There are physical (PVD) methods such as ion beam evaporation, sputtering, ion blating, and vacuum evaporation. In addition to the above-mentioned method, there is a plasma-CVD method as a method for forming the upper layer mainly made of silicon or germanium. This plasma-CVD method for forming an intermediate layer mainly made of silicon or germanium is well-known, and even in the case of hollow substrates (e.g., nozzles, dies, cylinders, pipes, etc.), it is possible to form an intermediate layer on the inner wall. Coating formation is possible. The method for forming a layer mainly composed of calchromium is the PV'D method, and since the plasma-CVD method has not been established, it is difficult to form a chromium layer on the gun wall of the base material due to poor wrapping. Therefore, for such base materials, a method has been used in which only an intermediate layer mainly made of silicon or germanium is formed to form a hard carbon film.

However, if the adhesion between the base material and an intermediate layer mainly composed of silicon or germanium is poor, or if the base material and silicon or germanium form an alloy or intermetallic compound due to diffusion (from each other or from one side), If an intermediate layer mainly made of silicon or germanium could not be formed, a hard carbon film could not be formed.
