Abstract

In this study, processes of vacuum formation of the coating-substrate structure with the effect of ion purification and atomic transfer were studied. The processes of vacuum formation of the coating-substrate structure with the influence of ion treatment and atomic transfer in this system are of a complex nature. When irradiated with ion flows and simultaneous deposition of coatings, several processes occur: heating, sputtering, desorption, ion insertion, mixing, and chemical reactions. Estimates show that for effective modification of coatings, a deposition regime is required that provides an energy impact of the order of 100 eV per atom of the coating. To solve the problems of ion (ion-stimulated) deposition of metal coatings, in addition to vacuum-arc devices, relatively simple evaporator designs from a crucible-anode in a hollow cathode, an electron beam evaporator with an additional electrode, and several systems with plasma generation units that complement the devices can be used magnetron sputtering.
