摘要: Abstract The plasma-assisted chemical vapour deposition process in a large-scale industrial plant for coating of TiN on tool steels was investigated by optical emission spectroscopy. Several atomic lines and molecular bands were identified. A parametric study the dependence bias voltage, total pressure gas flows, H 2 , N Ar TiCl 4 plasma characteristics performed to gain understanding influence parameters process. With change parameters, large variations emitted light, corresponding changes conditions, observed. In parameter range studied, rate depends linearly + signal when varying flow, whereas no clear correlation between OES could be found other parameters.
