In situ control of the structure formation of PVD hard coatings: periodic modulation of the microstructure — •Marthe Kaufholz1, Bärbel Krause1, Sunil Kotapati1, Michael Stueber2, Sven Ulrich2, Miguel Mantilla3, and Tilo Baumbach1,41IPS, KIT, Germany — 2IAM-AWP,KIT,Germany — 3MPI for Intelligent Systems, Germany — 4ANKA, KIT, Germany

Hard coatings such as Vanadium Carbide (VC1−x) are nowadays commonly used for improving the life-time of tools. Multilayer systems are one way to enhance the hardness of such coatings. They usually consist of alternating layers of two different materials.
In situ X-ray Reflectivity measurements at the synchrotron ANKA and ex situ Transmission Electron Microscopy studies showed that the density of thin VC1−x films depends on the sputtering conditions. A two layer system with different densities could be grown by varying the gas flow of the sputter gas.
By repeating this process periodically, a multilayer system was successfully created. Such a multilayer system formed by only one material simplifies the synthesis process and is of great interest for optical applications.
