Abstract
A single-cathode magnetron sputtering system was used to deposit CNx and CNx/TiN coatings onto Si (100) and polished M2 substrates. It was shown that optimum choice of substrate bias and pressure is required to obtain smooth films with maximum hardness and wear performance for carbon nitride. This work shows that it is possible to obtain CNx/TiN composite films using the same single-cathode approach, although the C/Ti ratio required to achieve the best hardness and wear properties has yet to be optimized.
