Abstract

PURPOSE:To form a TiN film having a hue selected among various hues without deteriorating the corrosion or wear resistance by using TiN as a target and changing the ratio in partial pressure between Ar and N2 in a gaseous Ar-N2 mixture used as a sputtering gas. CONSTITUTION:A sintered body of TiN powder is prepd. as a target for sputtering. A vacuum vessel is evacuated, a gaseous Ar-N2 mixture is introduced into the vessel to regulate the internal pressure to about 10<-3>-10<-1>Torr and high frequency plasma is generated in the vessel to form a TiN film on a substrate. At this time, the atomic ratio between Ti and N is subtly changed by changing the ratio in partial pressure between Ar and N2, so the hue of the formed film is selected among various hues such as red, purple, dark blue and gold. Thus, coating giving corrosion resistance and suitable for a roofing material, a wall material or the like can be carried out.

On the other hand, TiN (titanium nitride) is a gold-colored substance and has high hardness, so it is used for decoration of eyeglass frames and for surface treatment of cutting tools such as drill bits. Conventionally, TiN coating has been generally carried out by ion blasting or sputtering, and among these, sputtering is advantageous in terms of ease of operation and good reproducibility.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention The present invention solves the above-mentioned drawback that the TiN film coated on the substrate is limited to those with a golden appearance, and provides corrosion resistance and wear resistance equivalent to that of the golden one. The present invention relates to a method for obtaining a film having a variety of hues including gold, red, purple, and indigo, while maintaining its properties.

That is, TiN (
Prepare a sintered body of titanium nitride (titanium nitride) powder, and set the target and substrate in a sputtering device. After sufficiently evacuating the vacuum chamber, Ar gas and N gas were introduced into the chamber.
Reduce the pressure in the vacuum chamber to to-' to 10-'' Torr by 2!8
I will do it. When high-frequency plasma is generated in the tank in this state, Ar+ ions knock out surface atoms of the TiN target and are excited to react with molecules or NrX molecules to form a TiN film on the substrate. Although it is written here as TiN, the atomic ratio of Ti and N in this case is A.
It differs slightly depending on the partial pressure of r gas and fore gas, and therefore the hue of the appearance also differs. In the case of TiN, a feature is that even if the composition ratio differs even slightly, its hue changes greatly from red, purple, indigo, gold, etc.

Therefore, if sputtering is performed using only Ar gas without flowing gas, a gold film having the same hue as the target will be produced. When N2 gas is introduced at the same time as Ar, films with various colors such as red, purple, indigo, and gold can be formed depending on the amount.
