Abstract

Adhesion of Cr, SiO2, TiO2 and Ta2O5 films with thicknesses between 40 nm and 380 nm has been investigated using a new scratch-test method based on a vibrating diamond micro-indenter. The oxide films are produced on different substrates by sol-gel technique (SG), reactive evaporation (RE), reactive ion plating (IP) and plasma impulse chemical vapor deposition (PICVD); Cr-layers are deposited by sputtering (SP) on quartz. Large variations in adhesion are found for different coating techniques and deposition conditions, especially the substrate temperature. The adhesion can be correlated with microscopic properties in the film-substrate interface where differences are analyzed in term of hydrogen content, film growth and density. The adhesion is also connected with other macroscopic film quantities.
