H. Nakai et al., PREPARATION OF AL2O3 FILMS BY A NEW CVD PROCESS COMBINING PLASMA AND ACCELERATED ION-BEAMS, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section B, Beam interactions with materials and atoms, 112(1-4), 1996, pp. 280-283
We have developed a new p-CVD process which incorporates accelerated i
ons in order to produce new functional materials which have multiple s
tructures not available when using other processes. Aluminium oxide fi
lms deposited on the nickel based superalloy (INCONEL718) by p-CVD com
bined with simultaneous N-2(+) (accelerated to 10 keV) irradiation are
polycrystalline and have very smooth surfaces and show superior adhes
ion compared to conventional plasma CVD layers.
