Description

Method for preparing boron carbide film by evaporation
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of vacuum coating, and particularly relates to a method for preparing a boron carbide film by evaporation.
Background
Boron carbide (B 4 C) is one of the hardest superhard materials in nature, with hardness inferior to diamond. Boron carbide has wide application prospect in the fields of machinery, electronics, coating films and the like by virtue of excellent physical properties. The boron carbide film has high permeability in an infrared spectrum region, has the advantages of high melting point, low density, high damage threshold and the like, and is an ideal protective material for an infrared optical lens.
The preparation method of the boron carbide film mainly comprises a Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) method and a Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) method, wherein the chemical vapor deposition method is used for depositing a film at a very high temperature (about 1000 ℃), and many substrates cannot be deposited at the very high temperature, so that the selection range of substrate materials is limited. Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) includes magnetron sputtering, reactive sputtering, etc., which can be performed at a relatively low substrate temperature, but most of the deposited boron carbide films are amorphous, difficult to realize crystalline structures, and not sufficiently high in hardness.
Chinese patent publication No. CN101314842a discloses a method for preparing boron carbide film by electron beam evaporation technique. The method can prepare amorphous boron carbide films, boron carbide films with polycrystalline structures, various boron carbide films with different B, C component proportions, and the prepared boron carbide films have smooth surfaces, compact films and good uniformity. However, the method needs to obtain the boron carbide material in advance, and the boron carbide material is sintered at a high temperature of 1400-1600 ℃ in the preparation process, so that the mixed uniformity of carbon and boron is poor, and elemental carbon or boron is generated during evaporation coating instead of a compound of the elemental carbon or the boron, thereby influencing the performance of the finally prepared boron carbide film.
