PVD coating color corresponding to various targets

Choose target material types, material and gas (nitrogen, oxygen, acetylene, methane, argon gas, etc.), determine the target material and gas species, and then adjust the gas ratio, the dosage, the sputtering power, sputtering time, processing temperature, the substrate sputtering process parameters, such as temperature, sputtering time, preparation of color film, widely used in decorative coating industry.  

The following are various decorative color coatings made of commonly used materials and gases

Zirconium target + nitrogen: yellow-green to golden yellow  

Zirconium target + methane: dark black  

Zirconium target + oxygen: white, transparent film  

Zirconium target + nitrogen + methane: gold, imitation rose gold  

Chromium target + methane: dark black  

Chromium target + nitrogen: light black  

Chromium target + Nitrogen + methane: silver grey  

Chromium target + oxygen: light yellow, purple, green  

Chromium target + Oxygen: silver  

Stainless steel target + oxygen: purple  

Stainless steel target + Nitrogen: blue  

Stainless steel target + methane: bright black  

Stainless steel target + methane + nitrogen: blue black  

Silicon target + nitrogen: black  

Silicon target + oxygen: turbid white, transparent film  

Silicon target + methane: yellow, green, blue, black (target purity over 99% can only be black)  

Titanium target + oxygen: optical film color cutting, not much introduction are understood.  

Titanium target + methane: dark black (DLC preparation cannot meet the standard)  

Titanium target + nitrogen: imitation gold, bronze, purple, red  

Titanium target + nitrogen + methane: Imitation rose gold, black green, retro yellow, brown, purple  

Tungsten target + nitrogen: brown tungsten target + methane: dark and light black  

Tungsten target + Oxygen: purple, bright yellow, brown, blue
