Surface Roughness and Seeding Process Influence on Boron Doped Micro/Nanocrystalline Diamond Adhesion on Titanium Substrate- Crimson Publishers
CVD
(Chemical Vapor Deposition) diamond deposition on different materials requires
surface treatment such as diamond particles seeding on the substrate dispersed
in an appropriate solvent by using ultrasonic agitation. On the other hand,
seeding process by electrostatic attraction of nanodiamond particle have
produced films with higher nucleation density compared to that obtained from
ultrasonic treatment. In addition, nucleation and growth of
micro/nanocrystalline boron doped diamond films (BDD/NBDD) on titanium (Ti)
substrates represent a complex process, mainly due to the poor film adhesion
related to the difference in the thermal expansion coefficients between the
film and the substrate. Thus, the substrate morphology associated to the
seeding process can be determinant for this adhesion. In this context, the
adhesion of BDD and NBDD films on Ti substrate was systematically considered in
five different Ti surface roughness associated to two different seeding
processes: ultrasonic agitation with 0.25ÎĽm diamond particle and electrostatic
seeding with 4nm diamond particle in potassium chloride. Thus, twenty different
diamond film sample sets were grown by CVD technique following the combinations
of BDD and NBDD morphologies, Ti roughnesses, and seeding methodologies. The
samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Raman scattering
spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The adhesion tests were performed by
the Rockweel hardness test according to VDI 3198. The results showed that the
BDD and NBDD films grown with electrostatic seeding with 4nm diamond particle
presented the best adhesion regardless of substrate roughness while only the Ti
substrates with higher roughness presented good adhesion for ultrasonic
agitation pre-treatment with 0.25ÎĽm diamond particle. These results indicate
that the electrostatic seeding pre-treatment associated with greater surface
roughness have an important role in improving diamond films adhesion for the
two studied morphologies.
