摘要:
The present invention improves the adhesive property by pretreating under uniform conditions the substrate surface of metal, ceramics or glass etc. with a poor adhesive property, by accelerating ions under an electric field to the substrate in advance of a diamond-like film forming process. In light of the fact that a diamond-like film forming process by ionized deposition uses thermal electron ionization means and an electric potential is applied to a grid to accelerate ionized hydrocarbon ions, the present invention could attain the aimed purpose by ionizing and then accelerating a bombardment gas such as argon as a pretreatment process in the same apparatus.
摘要:
Diamond-like thin films having high uniformity and high crystallinity are produced by introducing a hydrocarbon material gas into a chamber, ionizing the gas, and depositing the ionized gas on a substrate. The gas is ionized by thermionic emission from two or more files of hot cathodes, each file having a plurality of filaments arranged at substantially uniform intervals in a linear or zigzag line configuration. Each file of hot cathodes is surrounded separately by an anode at a substantially uniform distance from a respective file of the filaments.

A highly corrosion-resistant rare-earth-iron magnet has a paraxylylene polymer film or a chloropara-xylylene polymer film formed thereon. The substrate magnet surface has a roughness Ra of no more than one micron. The magnet has a plasma polymer film formed beforehand or afterwards. The plasma polymer film has a protective film consists of only carbon and hydrogen, with a refractive index decreasing from the boundary surface between the film and the magnet toward the exposed surface. The protective coating has a thickness about three times the surface roughness of the substrate magnet.
摘要:
A protectively coated article comprises a substrate of a material selected from the group consisting of alloys containing at least Co, Ni, or Fe, ceramics, and glass and which has only a slight affinity for a diamond-like thin film, an intermediate carbon layer formed on the substrate, the intermediate layer having a hardness Hv in the range from 1000 to 5000 kg/mm2, or harder than the substrate but less hard than a diamond-like thin film to be formed thereon, and a diamond-like thin film formed further thereon. The interposition of the intermediate layer permits the diamond-like thin film to be bound securely to a substrate surface which has a slight affinity for the film.

Articles having a diamond-like protective film formed thereon, each comprising a substrate of a material selected from the group consisting of alloys containing at least Co, Ni, or Fe, ceramics, and glass and which has only a slight affinity for a diamond-like thin film, an Mo film formed on the substrate, and a diamond-like thin film formed further thereon. Such articles are manufactured by a method which comprises holding a grid made of Mo close to the surface of the substrate, bombarding the grid and the substrate surface with a bombarding gas consisting of inert gas atoms of Ar or the like, thereby removing contaminants from the surface and depositing Mo atoms on the substrate surface to form an Mo film thereon, ionizing a low-molecular-weight hydrocarbon or a feed gas capable of producing a low-molecular-weight hydrocarbon upon decomposition or reaction, and then accelerating the resulting ions and depositing the same on the Mo film to form a diamond-like film thereon. The substrate is preferably a metallic mold constructed of a hardened steel. The Mo film enhances the bond of the diamond-like film to the substrate and improves the strength of the mold surface.
摘要:
Articles protectively coated with a diamond-like thin film firmly bonded to the substrates are obtained by forming an intermediate layer composed of an amorphous mixture of silicon and carbon on a substrate of a material which has only a slight affinity for such a diamond-like thin film, and forming a diamond-like thin film further thereon.

摘要:
A magnetic recording medium comprising a ferromagnetic metal thin film comprised predominantly of cobalt on a substrate is improved in durability and performance by forming the ferromagnetic metal thin film as a multi-layered structure including at least two layers, one or both of which contain an organic polymer. A plasma-polymerized film may be provided as an interlayer between the layers of the metal thin film or as a topcoat.
