英文摘要：

As a new deposition technology providing high ionization rate of sputtering materials and depositing dense films of high performance, the high-power pulsed magnetron sputtering （HPPMS） technology has been investigated in many countries. In this work, we prepared a series of CrNx films using high-power pulsed unbalanced magnetron sputtering （HPPUMS） technology. Morphology and microstructure of the films in different thickness were characterized with AFM and XRD. The film thickness and hardness were measured. Tribological performance of the films was tested and compared with films prepared by middle-frequency magnetron sputtering （MFMS）. The results show that HPPUMS technology is able to deposit CrNx films of higher hardness, higher bonding strength and lower coefficient of friction.
