AbstractWe report on the growth and properties of nanocrystalline Si:H grown using a remote hot wire deposition system. Unlike previous results, the temperature of the substrate is not significantly affected by the hot filament in our system. The crystallinity of the growing film and the type of grain structure was systematically varied by changing the filament temperature and the degree of hydrogen dilution. It was found that high hydrogen dilution gave rise to random nucleation and <111> grain growth, whereas lower hydrogen dilution led to preferable growth of <220> grains. Similarly, a high filament temperature gave rise to preferential <111> growth compared to lower filament temperature. The electronic properties such as defect density and minority carrier diffusion length were studied as a function of the degree of crystallinity. It was found that the lowest defect density was obtained for a material which had an intermediate range of crystallnity, as determined from the Raman spectrum. Both highly amorphous and highly crystalline materials gave higher defect densities. The diffusion lengths were measured using a quantum efficiency technique, and were found to be the highest for the mid-range crystalline material. The results suggest that having an amorphous tissue surrounding the crystalline grain helps in passivating the grain boundaries.

Although the growth rate of diamond increased with increasing methane concentration at the filament temperature of 2100 °C during a hot filament chemical vapor deposition (HFCVD), it decreased with increasing methane concentration from 1% CH4 –99% H2 to 3% CH4 –97% H2 at 1900 °C. We investigated this unusual dependence of the growth rate on the methane concentration, which might give insight into the growth mechanism of a diamond. One possibility would be that the high methane concentration increases the non-diamond phase, which is then etched faster by atomic hydrogen, resulting in a decrease in the growth rate with increasing methane concentration. At 3% CH4 –97% H2, the graphite was coated on the hot filament both at 1900 °C and 2100 °C. The graphite coating on the filament decreased the number of electrons emitted from the hot filament. The electron emission at 3% CH4 –97% H2 was 13 times less than that at 1% CH4 –99% H2 at the filament temperature of 1900 °C. The lower number of electrons at 3% CH4 –97% H2 was attributed to the formation of the non-diamond phase, which etched faster than diamond, resulting in a lower growth rate.

Here, a new type of supercharged cell assembly is proposed that can effectively reduce the oil pressure during high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) diamond synthesis.
