Internally Oxidized Ru–Zr Multilayer Coatings

Abstract: Abstract:In this study, equiatomic Ru-Zr coatings were deposited on Si wafers at 400 • C by using direct current magnetron cosputtering. The plasma focused on the circular track of the substrate holder and the substrate holder rotated at speeds within 1-30 rpm, resulting in cyclical gradient concentration in the growth direction. The nanoindentation hardness levels of the as-deposited Ru-Zr coatings increased as the stacking periods of the cyclical gradient concentration decreased. After the coatings were anne… Show more

“…Pure metal targets of Ru (99.95%), Al (99.999%), and Ti (99.995%) with diameters of 50.8 mm each were adopted as source materials for sputtering ( Figure 1). The sputter guns were inclined to focus plasma on the circular track of the substrate holder, which resulted in cyclical gradient concentration deposition [21,23,24]. The cosputtering processes for fabricating multilayered thin films were described in detail in a previous study [23].…”

“…For example, Ru-Al alloys have been applied for jet engine components, bond coats for thermal barrier coatings, corrosion-and oxidation-protective coatings, and electrodes [1,2], whereas Ta-Al alloys have been applied for sulfidation and oxidation-protective coatings [3][4][5], heater materials [12][13][14], and electromagnetic shielding [15]. A previous paper [16] evaluated the oxidation behavior of Ru-Al multilayer coatings in 1% O 2 -99% Ar at 400-800 • C. In our co-sputtering system [16][17][18][19][20][21], the plasma sources focused on a circular track but not the center of the substrate-holder; thus, a multilayer coating with cyclical gradient concentration formed, as the substrate-holder was rotated in a low speed of 1-7 rpm. Such multilayer coatings were constructed by alloy sublayers with continuous variation in compositions, but not monolithic sublayers of distinct elements.…”

“…Compared to the conventional transition metal aluminides, the B2‐type cubic Zr‐based compounds have high melting point. In addition, the Zr‐based compounds have excellent oxidation resistance due to the formation of ZrO 2 . For the B2‐type Zr‐based compounds, the thermodynamic models of Ru‐Zr system are investigated by David et al They have found that the B2‐type RuZr shows better thermodynamic stability.…”
