研究目的
To develop a model for a PVD magnetron sputtering process that can predict the relationship between process input parameters and the resulting coating properties and performance, and to investigate the influence of substrate thickness and bias voltage on the structural properties of the coatings.
研究成果
The study concluded that sputtering power, the interaction between sputtering power and argon gas pressure, and substrate bias voltage are significant factors influencing the roughness of Ti/AlTiN coatings. The roughness decreased with increasing sputtering power and showed a quadratic behavior with bias voltage, decreasing up to 175V and increasing beyond that.
研究不足
The study did not account for temperature effects in the coating process, focusing only on argon gas pressure, sputtering power, and bias voltage. The model's significance relative to noise was also a limitation.
