Abstract
Boron nitride (BN) coatings were deposited onto die steel and graphite substrates with a low pressure r.f. plasma. The coatings were deposited onto substrates at temperatures of 550–620 °C from a gas mixture of argon, NH3 and BCl3. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy were employed to identify and to characterize the coatings. The coatings are mostly amorphous; however, the existence of small amounts of hexagonal BN was identified. The influence on the growth rate of the deposition time and the pressure in the reactor is described.
