We have developed the coating technology of apatite onto strong materials such as the ceramics of alumina and zirconia, and the metals of titanium and stainless steel, and recently established the method for the formation of bone-like layers of partially carbonated calcium hydroxyapatite by a reactive rf-magnetron sputtering method, which is undertaken in a mixed CO2/Ar gas ambience. Essential to this method is the use of calcium phosphate glass targets with much lower Ca/P ratios than the stoichiometric value of hydroxyapatite. It has been identified by the surface analyses of XRD, EDX, and FT-IR that CO32ions occupied the lattice positions of PO43in the apatite structure. The bioactivity of the coated ceramic materials was confirmed by the in vitro experiments of the bone-like crystal growth on their surfaces in a simulated body fluid. INTRODUCTION Despite its unparalleled bioactivity with surrounding tissues, ceramic hydroxyapatite (Ca5(PO4)3OH, HAp) is still insufficient for implant use for defective bones and teeth. HAp coatings onto strong materials have currently been undertaken in order to compensate for these shortcomings. The coated layers must be bone-like in order to sustain the bioactivity of implant materials. The "bone-like" coating is actually the forming of the so-called B-type carbonated calcium hydroxyapatite (Ca5-x(PO4)3-y(CO3)y(O11)1-zOz: BCHAp) in which CO32substitutes for the lattice PO43-. Radio frequency magnetron sputtering has recently been intensively developed for this biomaterials purpose (1-5); this method has the advantages of strong coating adhesion. We have recently succeded in the coating of HAp by the use of calcium phosphate (CP) glass target with a Ca/P of ≦0.6, much lower than the stoichiometry of 1.67, and attained the unprecedented bone-like coatings by the reactive sputtering using the mixed gas of CO2 and Ar. This paper first reports the coating method and characterizes the coated layers, then presents the results of the in vitro experiments on bone-like crystal growth on the coated layers in simulated body fluid. EXPERIMENTALPROCEMRE The CP glass targets for sputtering were prepared according to the previous report (5). Three kinds of targets with different Ca/P ratios were prepared, and the
