Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films have been given great attention in the last twenty years and applied in many fields due to its super mechanical property. In this paper, DLC films were prepared by filter cathodic vacuum arc (FCVA) deposition under different negative bias voltage. No spalling was found in all of as-prepared DLC films. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman spectra were employed to analyze composition and structure, the results showed that as-prepared DLC films had tendency of graphite with increase of negative bias voltage. Mechanical properties were characterized by micro-hardness and pin-on disc tests, the results showed that the hardness of DLC films decreased with bias voltage, but still kept good wear resistant.

40Cr steel substrate was coated with TiAlN/TiN films by multi-arc ion technology. The effect of technical elements on the surface and micro hardness of TiAlN/TiN films had been studied with metallographic microscope, SEM and micro hardness instrument. The results show that the negative bias and the target current have marked influence in performance of TiAlN/TiN films. The content of Ti and Al in films becomes lower and lower when the negative bias becomes higher and higher. The content of Ti/Al of films increases when the target current increases. The micro hardness increases firstly and then drops with the increase of negative bias or the target current.

AlN and TiN thin films are widely used in electronic devices and acoustic material and other fields because of its unique merit, the preparation of nitride thin films by using the arc ion plating has not been a systematic and deep study. The article presents our research procedure which the AlN and TiN thin films are deposited on stainless steel substrate by arc ion plating (AIP). The characteristics of thin films, for example microstructure, morphology, composition analysis and hardness, are examined and analyzed. The results showed that: Droplet-like particles appear in the microstructure of nitride thin films, and the grain size of droplet-like particles in AlN thin films is greater than in TiN thin films. The micro-hardness of nitride films preparation in experiment has improved significantly, and establish firmly basic for extending the application field of nitride film.

AbstractThin films of zirconia have been deposited by an Inductively Coupled Plasma Assisted CVD (ICP-PACVD) reactor from tetra (tert-butoxy)-zircon precursor diluted in Ar and O2 gas mixture. An independent RF generator is used to control carefully the substrate negative bias voltage during the deposition. Zirconia thin films, with thickness up to 10 microns were deposited on Si (100) polished wafers under different plasma conditions. Correlation between deposition parameters, and microstructure has been established showing that the ion bombardment has a large influence on the coating characteristics. In particular, the possibility of tailoring mechanical properties of the films by controlling the applied DC bias voltage is discussed.
