the invention relates to a preparation method of a metal Cr coating with a nano multilevel structure, which is used for preparing the metal Cr coating with the nano multilevel structure on a clean silicon substrate by deposition through a magnetron sputtering deposition method. Firstly removing impurities on the surface of a silicon substrate to improve the binding capacity of a coating and the substrate, and then generating high-density Ar after glow discharge of Ar gas+,Ar+Is strongly attracted to the negative under the action of the electric fieldThe electrode bombards two Cr direct current targets at a high rate, partial kinetic energy is transferred to target atoms, and then the target atoms collide with other target atoms to form a cascade process. In the cascade process, target atoms near some surfaces obtain enough kinetic energy to move outwards, so that the target atoms and secondary electrons are sputtered, Cr atoms finally move reversely to a silicon substrate of an anode for deposition, and the secondary electrons move circularly in a form of a cycloidal line in the movement direction of an orthogonal electromagnetic field, which is vertical to an electric field and a magnetic field, so that the ionization rate of Ar is improved, the ion density and energy are increased, and high-speed sputtering is realized. And finally, the coating is cooled to room temperature in a vacuum coating chamber, so that the coating is prevented from peeling off due to small temperature rise and different thermal expansion coefficients of the coating and a substrate in the sputtering process, and the finally deposited coating has few defects and strong adhesive force.
The microstructure of the metal Cr coating is regulated and controlled by controlling the deposition air pressure. When the deposition pressure is lower, the Ar partial pressure is lower, Ar ions bombarding the target after ionization are fewer, sputtered particles are fewer, the deposition rate is lower, the thickness of the deposited metal Cr coating is smaller, and meanwhile, the deposition rate is lower, so that sputtered atoms are favorably deposited on the surface of the substrate without causing holes, and the coating quality is favorably improved; when the deposition gas pressure is increased, the average free path of gas molecules is reduced, the number of times of collision between sputtered atoms and gas molecules is increased, the secondary electron emission is enhanced, the sputtering capacity is enhanced, the deposition rate is increased, the thickness of the coating is increased in the same deposition time, and meanwhile, the average kinetic energy of the sputtered atoms is also reduced due to the increase of the number of times of collision between the sputtered atoms and the gas molecules, the migration capacity on the surface of the coating is reduced, so that the probability of filling the coating into pores on the surface of the coating is reduced, therefore, the coating deposited under the deposition gas pressure is rough, and the pores between columnar crystals are large; when the deposition pressure is too high, the number of collisions between the sputtered atoms and the gas molecules is greatly increased with the increase of the Ar gas molecules, which results in greater loss of energy of the sputtered atoms during the collisions, resulting in a decrease in the number of particles reaching the silicon substrate, a decrease in the deposition rate, a decrease in the thickness of the coating at the same deposition time, and an improvement in the surface quality of the coating. Thus, changes in deposition gas pressure affect changes in the coating deposition rate and surface topography as well as changes in the properties of the coating. The microstructure of the coating is regulated and controlled by controlling the deposition air pressure, and the metal Cr coating with excellent performance is prepared, so that the method has great significance.
Furthermore, after the deposition is finished, the coating is placed in a high vacuum coating chamber to be cooled along with the furnace, so that the phenomenon that the coating falls off from the substrate due to thermal stress caused by different thermal expansion coefficients of the coating and the substrate is avoided, and the coating is prevented from being oxidized at high temperature.
A metal Cr coating with a nano multistage structure is provided, the shape of a crystal grain is columnar crystal, the size of the columnar crystal is stabilized in the range of the nanocrystalline, and the surface of the columnar crystal is of a carambola-shaped structure with multistage micro-nano dimensions. The microstructure of the coating changes with the deposition pressure: at low air pressure, the coating has larger grain size and loose structure; as the air pressure is increased, the grain size of the coating is reduced, and the structure density is increased.
