Zusammenfassung: | PVD process for coating substrates comprises pre-treating a substrate in the vapor produced by pulsed magnetic field-supported cathode sputtering. During the pre-treatment a magnetic field arrangement in the form of a magnetron cathode is used to support the magnetic field. The intensity of the horizontal component in front of the target is 100-1500 Gauss. After the pre-treatment a further coating step takes place using cathode sputtering. The power density of the pulsed discharge during pre-treatment is over 1000 W.cm. Preferred Features: The power density is 2000-3000 W.cm. The pulse duration is 10-1000, preferably 50 micro-s, and the pulse interval is 0.2 ms to 1000 s, preferably 20 ms. The pre-treatment takes place in an non-reactive atmosphere. e.g. Ne, Ar, Kr, or Se with targets made from Cr, V, Ti, Zr, Mo, W, Nb, or Ta. |
