Detailed Description of the Invention "Field of Application of the Invention" The present invention relates to the application of carbon or a film containing carbon as a main component (hereinafter referred to as a carbon-based film) to the underlying base material, and to improve the interfacial properties, particularly the adhesion. This improves the properties of carbon-based coatings, and maximizes the characteristics of carbon-based coatings such as friction resistance, high smoothness, and high hardness.

``Prior art'' Previously, attempts have been made to form carbon-based films on a wide variety of base materials. At present, it is not always possible to obtain satisfactory adhesion due to thermal stress caused by differences in shrinkage rates after film formation.

``Problems with conventional technology'' Carbon-based coatings have the advantage of high hardness, but on the other hand, they also have large residual stress, so they have special physical properties such as dependence on the underlying substrate and dependence on film thickness.

In other words, the total stress (stress integrated in the film thickness direction) increases with film thickness, but the stress of some carbon-based films can be alleviated by the underlying substrate itself, and the residual stress of the carbon-based film itself increases as the film thickness increases. The current situation is that the film thickness that can withstand is determined by the definition of a limit, and the desired film thickness cannot be obtained, so there is an urgent need to develop new technologies.

本発明は以上のような残留応力を低下させることを目的

The present invention has been made for the purpose of reducing the above-mentioned residual stress.

Figure 2 shows a study of the total stress of the formed film by varying the substrate temperature.As with thin films formed by general CVD, the thermal stress relatively increases as the substrate temperature rises. The total stress shows a tendency to increase. The basic conditions in this case are reaction pressure of 0.0375 torr, high frequency power density of 0.15 W/cd, self-bias voltage of 1210 cm, and C2H4/N! The ratio was -〇, 5.

Figure 3 shows the results of examining the compressive stress including thermal stress by varying the C, L/N2 ratio. By increasing the added gas N2, the C-H bonds in the film are changed to the N-H bonds. The hydrogen content in the film is relatively reduced. In other words, the structural relaxation effect is reduced and a large residual stress is left behind.

Figure 4 shows the infrared absorption spectrum from 2960 to 2850c.
This figure shows the relationship between the hydrogen content in the film and the compressive stress, estimated from the absorption amount by the sp" bond near m1, and the hydrogen content in the film is reduced by adding hydrogen to the hydrocarbon gas. However, this is not desirable as it increases the strain in the internal structure of the film and remains as residual stress.Additionally, adding N2, NF, etc. can replace H in the C-H bonds in the film with N. Although it is amorphous due to large interatomic bond energy without producing residual stress, it also has the effect of relaxing the internal structure, suppressing the interaction between thermal stress and C-H bonds, and controlling internal stress. can.

"Effect" According to the present invention, when applying a carbon-based film, which has been considered difficult in the past, residual stress consisting of thermal stress and internal stress can be reduced not only by reducing the hydrogen content in the film, but also by adding another element, For example, by replacing it with nitrogen, it brings about an effect of relaxing the internal structure, and has a great effect of improving the adhesion with the interface and the initial and aging changes in heat resistance.
