Definitions
- the invention relates to a doped diamond-like carbon coating and to a process for depositing such a coating on a substrate.
- Amorphous hydrogenated carbon known as diamond-like carbon (DLC) shows several attractive characteristics. Coatings having a diamond-like carbon composition are suitable as hard, wear resistant, self lubricant and corrosion resistant coatings.
- DLC coatings Another drawback of DLC coatings is that the friction coefficient increases considerably with humidity. This inhibits the application of DLC coatings as low friction coating in humid environment or in water.
- WO98/33948 describes the deposition of a diamond-like nanocomposite
- DLN DLN layer on the substrate before the deposition of a DLC layer.
- DLN coatings comprise generally two interpenetrating networks a-C :H and a- Si:O; and are known as Dylyn ® .
- a silicon-nitrogen doped diamond-like carbon coating comprises the elements C, H, Si and N.
- the concentration ranges of the elements C, Si and N expressed in proportion to the sum of C, Si and N are as follows : 30 to 90 at% C, 5 to 50 at% Si and 5 to 40 at% N.
- the concentration of C is between 40 and 50 at%
- the concentration of Si is between 15 and 40 at%
- the concentration of N is between 12 and 20 at%. It has been shown that the coating can further contain a small amount of oxygen. This presence can be due to diffusion of oxygen into the coating. The amount is however limited to a few percents maximum and is the highest closest to the outer surface of the coating layer.
- the adhesion of the coating according to the invention expressed by means of the critical load, as measured in a scratch test, is greater than 22 N.
- the doped diamond-like carbon coating can be considered as a non- sticking coating.
- a possibility to express the non-sticking behaviour of coatings is by means of their surface energy. In most cases, a low surface energy goes hand in hand with an improvement of the non-sticking characteristics.
- a coating is considered to have non- sticking characteristics if its surface energy is below 40 mN/m. More preferably, the surface energy is below 33 mN/m and most preferably below 30 mN/m.
- the coating is characterised by a high hardness. It has been shown that the hardness is higher than 12
- the hardness is even higher than 15 GPa.
- the coating is very suitable as a coating for a substrate for applications where non-sticking characteristics are desired.
- examples are moulds used for plastic injection moulding, tablet or powder punches and implants such as stents.
- the coating layer can further be doped with one or more additional elements such as fluorine or a transition metal as for example W, Zr or Ti.
- additional elements such as fluorine or a transition metal as for example W, Zr or Ti.
- the presence of metallic doping elements has an influence on the thermal and/or electrical conductivity of the coating. This means that by adding a controlled amount of metallic doping element(s), the thermal and/or electrical conductivity of the coating may be controlled.
- the presence of doping elements can also be desired to control the surface energy.
- an inert gas such as Ar, Kr or Ne can be incorporated into the coating composition, by introducing an inert gas in the vacuum chamber during deposition.
- a multilayered coating is provided.
- This multilayered coating comprises at least one layered structure.
- a layered structure comprises a first layer closest to the substrate comprising a silicon-nitrogen doped diamond-like carbon coating comprising the elements C, H, Si and N; a second layer on the top of the first layer comprising a diamond-like carbon composition; a transition layer between the first and the second layer comprising a mixture of the silicon-nitrogen doped diamond-like carbon coating and the diamond-like carbon composition.
- there is an intermediate layer comprising a mixture of the diamond-like carbon composition layer and the doped diamond-like carbon coating, sandwiched between each pair of consecutive layered structures.
- the transition layer gradually changes from a composition comprising C, H, Si and N to a diamond-like carbon composition layer.
- the intermediate layer gradually changes from a diamond-like carbon composition layer to a composition comprising C, H, Si and N.
- the first layer functions as an excellent adhesion promoting layer for the DLC layer.
- the adhesion promoting layer according to the present invention has the advantage over other adhesion promoting layers, such as silicon layers, that it not only offers a good adhesion, but that it is also characterised by a rather high hardness.
- the multilayered coating has a hardness which comes close to the hardness of a DLC coating layer.
- the repeated alternation of a layer comprising C, H, Si and N and a DLC composition layer allows it to deposit thicker coatings, for example coatings with a thickness of more than 10 ⁇ m.
- the number of layered structures can vary from 1 to 5000 and is for example situated between 5 and 50.
- a multilayered coating according to the present invention shows greatly reduced internal stresses. This is due to the lower Young's modulus (higher elasticity) of the silicon-nitrogen doped diamond-like carbon coating layer sandwiching the DLC coating layer. Even for thick coatings, the total internal stresses of the coating remain low.
- any layer of the multilayered coating can be doped, for example with fluorine or with a transition metal.
- the outer top layer of the coating may be varied.
- the hardness and low-wear characteristics, typical for a DLC type coating prevail. This implies that by depositing a DLC layer on top of a multilayered coating a high wear and abrasion resistance coating is obtained. Thicknesses higher than these of conventional DLC coatings can be deposited in this way. Possible fields of applications are the coating of metal forming tools and textile needles. In the case a doped diamond-like carbon coating comprising the elements C, H, Si and N is deposited on the top, the multilayered coating is characterised by a low surface energy and by a low friction coefficient.
- non-sticking properties of such a coating make it suitable for many applications, in particular as a coating for plastic injections moulds and powder pressing tools.
- outer layer is for example a layer comprising
- a substrate coated with a doped diamond-like carbon coating or with a multilayered coating according to the invention is provided.

- a process for coating a substrate at least in part is provided.
- the substrate is brought into the vacuum chamber and is fixed to the substrate plate by any suitable means.
- the surface of the substrate is cleaned before the deposition of the coating.
- This can, for example, be done by bombarding the substrate with ions of an inert gas such as Ar, Kr or Ne. This pretreatment activates the surface and removes residual impurities form the substrate surface.
- a precursor or a mixture of different precursors, comprising the elements C, H, Si and N, is brought into the vacuum chamber, a plasma is formed from the introduced precursor and the composition of the plasma is deposited on the substrate to which a negative bias voltage has been applied.
- the process further comprises the following steps.
- the precursor composition is gradually exchanged by a hydrocarbon without stopping the glow discharge. Subsequently, the plasma is formed from the mixture of the precursor and the hydrocarbon and a transition layer from said mixture is deposited on the substrate to which a negative bias voltage has been applied.
- the mixture gradually changes from a composition comprising the elements C, H, Si and N to a diamond-like carbon composition, comprising only the elements C and H
- the plasma deposition is continued to deposit a diamond-like carbon composition layer from the hydrocarbon until the desired thickness is obtained
- the process further comprises, for each additional layered structure, the steps of gradually exchanging said hydrocarbon by a precursor comprising the elements C, H, Si and N, forming continuously a plasma from the hydrocarbon and said precursor and depositing an intermediate layer from said mixture, - continuing the plasma deposition from the precursor comprising the elements C, H, Si and N, gradually exchanging said precursor by a hydrocarbon, depositing a DLC composition layer from said hydrocarbon
- the plasma may be generated and deposited on the substrate in different ways
- a first possible method to generate a plasma is by means of a capacitivly coupled radiofrequency glow discharge (RF) applied to the substrate
