Abstract

The alternated deposition of silicon oxide and organosilicon layers, yielding to ultra-barrier films against the transmission of vapors and gases through plastic substrates, has been demonstrated to be also an effective tool for the deposition of highly corrosion protective coatings on low-carbon steel substrate. PECVD is really efficient for the deposition of multilayered stacks since it allows the deposition of the organosilicon and silicon oxide layers in the same process chamber and using the same precursor, the tetraethoxysilane. The multilayer approach leads to 600-nm-thick coatings with high corrosion resistance (1.1 x 10(7) Omega cm(2)), while a layer of SiO(x) has the same protective effectiveness only for thickness greater than 1 mu m. The use of modulated discharges for the multilayer deposition exhibits an improved resistance to corrosion by two orders of magnitude with respect to continuous mode.
