Diamond-film-like coating apparatus
Technical field
The utility model relates to a kind of diamond-film-like coating apparatus.
Background technology
Quasi-diamond film coating (Diamond-like Carbon) is called for short DLC coating.Quasi-diamond (DLC) film is the film of the metastable class of the one amorphous carbon that contains a certain amount of diamond key (sp2 and sp3).The main component of film is carbon, because carbon can exist with three kinds of different hybrid form sp3, sp2 and sp1, so carbon can form different crystal and unordered structure.This also makes the research of carbon-base film become complicated.In sp3 hybrid structure, four valence electrons of a carbon atom are assigned in the directed sp3 track with tetrahedral structure, and carbon atom and adjacent atom form very strong ♂ key, and we are also referred to as diamond key conventionally this bonding mode.In sp2 hybrid structure, in four valence electrons of carbon three enter in the sp2 track of leg-of-mutton orientation, and in one plane form ♂ key, and the 4th electronics is positioned at the p π track of a plane of same ♂ key.Same or the multiple adjacent atoms of π track form weak π key.And in sp1 structure, after in four valence electrons two enter π track, each leisure forms ♂ key in the direction of x axle, the p π track that two other valence electron enters y axle and z axle forms π key.DLC carbon film can be doped different elements and obtain DLC (N-DLC) film adulterating.C in them exists in the bonding mode of sp3, sp2 and sp1, thereby has many performances similar to diamond film.
Quasi-diamond (DLC) film has many premium propertiess similar or close to diamond, as high in hardness, Young's modulus is high, frictional coefficient is low, Bc is good, acoustical behavior is good, electric property is good etc.DLC film develops into today, is known and pays close attention to by increasing investigator and industry member, has great application prospect in the each field of industry.DLC film is widely used in multiple fields such as aerospace, precision optical machinery, microelectromechanicdevices devices, multiple head unit, automobile component, optical equipment and biomedicines at present, is the high performance inorganic non-metallic thin-film material with important application prospect.
The U.S. is one of strategic material using diamond like carbon film material as 21 century.The research of diamond-film-like at present, exploitation, preparation and application advance just both in depth and in breadth.Method prepared by quasi-diamond is a lot: as ion beam assisted depositing, magnetron sputtering, vacuum cathode arc deposited, plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition, ion implantation etc.But different preparation methods, composition, structure and the performance of DLC film have very large difference.Realize the application of in enormous quantities, big area, DLC film of fine quality, also have many problems.As: most depositing device or device all belong to the equipment of laboratory use principle type, high, the single heat output of preparation cost is little, can not produce continuously.Can not do industrial enterprise and produce in enormous quantities, realize the equipment of industrialization.
The coating quality of legacy equipment or device preparation is unstable at present, and coating adhesion is poor, thicknesses of layers extremely meagre (1 μ m left and right) etc.Can not meet practical application particularly at high kinematic pair, the specification of quality of the narrow surface coating DLC of high frequency friction.
