Titanium‐Tantalum coatings are deposited by magnetron co‐sputtering technique, using independently driven titanium and tantalum targets. The effect of the Ta content on structure, mechanical, wear properties Ti films i s investigated . It is found that percentage added varies linearly from 3.7 to 31.3 at% increasing power applied target 10 100 W. XRD results show crystalline, there no evidence formation intermetallic phases, instead metastable phases α ″ β depending observed, though samples...
A compact electron cyclotron wave resonance (ECWR) source has been developed for the high rate deposition of hydrogenated tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C:H). The ECWR provides growth rates up to 900 Å/min over a 4″ diameter and an independent control ion energy. ta-C:H was deposited using acetylene as gas characterized in terms its sp3 content, mass density, intrinsic stress, hydrogen C–H bonding, Raman spectra, optical gap, surface roughness friction coefficient. results obtained...
