Quinary Ti-Al-Si-C-N films were successfully synthesized on SUS 304 substrates and Si wafers by a hybrid coating system combining an arc ion plating technique and a DC reactive magnetron sputtering technique. In this work, the effect of Si content on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Ti-Al-C-N films were systematically investigated. It was revealed that the microstructure of Ti-Al-Si-C-N coatings changed from a columnar to a nano-composite by the Si addition. Due to the nanocomposite microstructure of Ti-Al-Si-C-N coatings, the microhardness of The Ti-Al-Si-C-N coatings significantly increased up to 56 GPa. In addition the average friction coefficients of Ti-Al-Si-C-N coatings were remarkably decreased with Si addition. Therefore, Ti-Al-Si-C-N coatings can be applicable as next-generation hard-coating materials due to their improved hybrid mechanical properties.

Si 기판을 실온과 $600^{\circ}C$로 유지하면서 동시 증착 방법으로 (Ti+2Si)를 증착한 후 $N_2$ 분위기에서 Ti를 증발시켜 TiN($300\AA$)/(Ti+2Si, $300\AA$)/Si(100) 구조의 시료를 제작한 다음 초고진공에서 in-situ로 열처리하여 양질의 $TiN/TiSi_2$-bilayer를 형성하였다 열처리 온도가 $700^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 (111) texture 구조를 가지면서 화학 양론적으로 $Ti_{0.5}N_{0.5}$인 박막과 C54-$TiSi_2$박막이 형성되었다. $TiN/C54-TiSi_2/Si$ (100)구조의 계면은 응집 현상이 없이 평활하였으며, $C54-TiSi_2$상은 에피택셜 성장되었다. $TiN/TiSi_2$-이중구조막의 면저항은 열처리 온도에 따라 감소하였으며, $700^{\circ}C$ 이상의 열처리 온도에서는 면저항 값이 $2.5\omega/\textrm{cm}^2$ 였다.

반응성 RF 스파타 증착법으로 스테인레스 스틸 기판 위에 TiC 박막과 TiN 박막을 증착하였다. 스파타기체로 Ar를, 반응기체로 C2H2와 N2 기체를 사용하였다. 박막의 증착율 은 RF 출력증가에 따라 선형적으로 증가하였으며 스파타기체에 대한 반응 기체의 분압비 증가에 따라 급격하게 감소하였다. 박막의 성분은 TiC 박막의 경우 분압비 0.03에서, TiN 박막의 경우 분압비 0.05에서 stoichiometric한 성분이 된다. 이 TiC, TiN 박막의 morphology와 미세구조 및 계면을 AES, SEM 그리고 TEM으로 조사하였다. 또한 N+ 이온 을 주입하여 N+ 이온 주입효과와 열처리 효과도 조사하였다.

Ar과 $N_2$ 가스가 혼합된 분위기에서 반응성 스퍼터링 방법에 의하여 TiN 박막을 증 착하였다. $N_2$가스의 농도는 화학양론적으로 TiN이 형성되는 조건에 맞도록 조절하였으며, 기판의 온도는 실온에서부터 $700^{\circ}C$의 범위내로 유지하였다. (111)texture구조를 가지면서 화 학양론적으로 $Ti_{0.5}N){0.5}$인 박막은 기판의 온도가 $600^{\circ}C$이상에서 형성되었고, 기판의 온도가 $600^{\circ}C$에서는 형성된 박막은 N-과다형이었다. XRD, XPS 및 RBS 분석 결과 TiN 박막의 조 성비는 기판의 온도에 다소 의존하였으나 약 5% 이내에 불과하였다. TiN 박막의 면저항은 기판온도의 증가에 따라 감소하였고, 기판온도가 $600^{\circ}C$에서 증착된 TiN 박막의 면저항은 14.5$\Omega\Box$였고, Ar-가스 분위기에서 $700^{\circ}C$로 30초간 열처리한 후는 8.9$\Omega\Box$이었다. 따라서 반 응성 스퍼터링방법에 의하여 형성되는 양질의 TiN 박막은 기판온도가 $600^{\circ}C$이상이 최적조 건임을 알았다.

고집적회로에서 A1 금속공정의 diffusion barrier로 널리 사용되는 titanium nitride의 성질을 조사하였다. 실제 회로 구조의 열적 안정성을 관찰하기 위하여 준비된 TiN/Ti다층 barrier를 $600^{\circ}C$까지 열처리하여 x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy(XTEM) 등으로 분석하였다. 열처리 온도가 증가됨에 따라 oxygen은 TiN 층의 표면과 pure-Ti 층에 pile up 된다. TiN 층의 표면에서는 $600^{\circ}C$열처리시 TiN이 분해되어 완전히 $TiO_2$가 형성되며, TiN 층 내에서는 oxygen 함량은 열처리 온도의 증가에 따라 커지고 이때 형성되는 Ti-oxide는 $TiO_2$ 보다 TiO, $Ti_2$$O_3$ 상태로 존재하게 된다. Pure-Ti 층은 열처리시 두개의 층으로 나누어 지는 데, 표면에서 침투하는 oxygen과 pure-Ti이 반응하여 Ti-oxide 층이 생기며 실리콘 기판과의 반응으로 Ti-silicide를 형성한다. $600^{\circ}C$에서 모든 Ti 층이 반응으로 소모되고 열적 stress, Ti-silicide의 grain growth, oxygen의 침입으로 TiN 층에 blistering이 발생한다.

TiAlN films were deposited on WC-5Co substrates with different buffer layers by D.C. magnetron sputtering. The films were evaluated by microstructural observations and measuring of preferred orientation, hardness value, and adhesion force. As a process variable, various buffer layers were used such as TiAlN single layer, TiAlN/TiAl, TiAlN/TiN and TiAlN/CrN. TiAlN coating layer showed columnar structures which grew up at a right angle to the substrates. The thickness of the TiAlN coating layer was about $1.8{\mu}m$, which was formed for 200 minutes at $300^{\circ}$. XRD analysis showed that the preferred orientation of TiAlN layer with TiN buffer layer was (111) and (200), and the specimens of TiAlN/TiAl, TiAlN/CrN, TiAlN single layer have preferred orientation of (111), respectively. TiAlN single layer and TiAlN/TiAl showed good adhesion properties, showing an over 80N adhesion force, while TiAlN/TiN film showed approximately 13N and the TiAlN/CrN was the worst case, in which the layer was destroyed because of high internal residual stress. The value of micro vickers hardness of the TiAlN single layer, TiAlN/TiAl and TiAlN/TiN layers were 2711, 2548 and 2461 Hv, respectively.

In order to determine the wear Properties of PECVD ceramic coatings, wear process was evaluated using the coated pin of Falex Tribosystem. Coating materials deposited wear the TiC, TiN and Ti(CN). An experimental process was established to determine the tribological characteristics of friction and wear behavior under the variation of applied load, temperature and sliding distance by the Falex test machine. The experimental results indicate that TiN coating compared with TiC coating on e materials have e excellent friction and wear characteristics. However TiC coating compared i친 TiN coatings have a low friction coefficient with steel and good thermal stability, and Ti(CN) has the excellent anti-wear properly as well as the superiority of extreme pressure property. Compound coating compared wi simple coatings show improved tribological characteristics.

Si3N4-TiC composites have been known as electrically conductive ceramics. $Si_3N_4-TiC$ composites with 2 wt% $Al_2O_3$ and 4 wt% $Y_2O_3$ were hot pressed in $N_2$ environment. The mechanical properties including hardness, fracture toughness, and flexural strength and tribological properties were investigated as a function of TiC content. $Si_3N_4-40$ vol% TiC composite was hot pressed at $1,750^{\circ}C$, $1,800^{\circ}C$, and $1,850^{\circ}C$ for 1, 3 and 5 hours in $N_2$ gas. Mechanical and tribolgical properties depended on microstructures, which were controlled by hte TiC content, hot press temperature, and hot press holding time. However, mechanical properties and tribological behaviors were degraded by the chemical reaction between TiC and N. The chemically reacted products such as TiCN, SiC, and $SiO_2$ were detered by the X-ray diffraction analysis.

The amount of VC and C/N ratio in Ti(CN) was varied to investigate the effect of VC addition on the mi-crostructural change in Ti(CN)-Ni system. As the amount of VC addition increases in Ti(C0.7N0.3)-20Ni sys-tem a complete solid solution was observed in Ti(C0.7N0.3)-20Ni-25VC system. It implies that the ratio of the dissolution rates of Ti(C0.7N0.3)to that of VC is nearly 2:1 at the sintering conditions used in this study. It was found from the experiments that the system composed of the Ti(C0.7N0.3) phase exhibits a rimless structure and relatively small amount of solid solution. That is among Ti(C0.7N0.3) phase exhibits a rimless structure and relatively small amount of solid solution. This is among Ti(C1-xNx) phases the dissolution rate of Ti(C0.3N0.7) is the lowest. Also fracture toughness(KIC) of the cermet was measured by indentation method. Attentions were paid to crack propagation path to look for a dominant fracture mode and to cor-relate it with fracture toughness values. The fracture toughness was relatively high with the addition of VC content. But the addition of a large VC content reduced the overall toughness of the cermet. This result is explained with the difference in fracture mode.
