AbstractHot-filament chemical vapor deposited (HFCVD) boron doped polycrystalline diamond thin films having low volume resistivity were grown on sapphire. The films were characterized using scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction, and current-voltage measurements. SEM micrographs show good crystalline structure with preferred (100) orientation normal to the surface of the film. X-ray diffraction pattern revealed diamond characteristics with the four typical diamond peaks present. Finally, the obtained I-V characteristics indicated that the film's volume resistivity is at least two orders of magnitude lower than those of HFCVD polycrystalline diamond thin films grown on silicon under similar growth conditions.

AbstractAlthough many researchers have studied boron-doped diamond thin films in the past several years, there have been few reports on the effects of doping CVD-grown diamond films with phosphorous. For this work, polycrystalline diamond thin films were grown by hot filament chemical vapor deposition (HFCVD) on p-type silicon substrates. Phosphorous was introduced into the reaction chamber as an in situ dopant during the growth. The quality and orientation of the diamond thin films were monitored by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Current-voltage (I-V) data as a function of temperature for golddiamond film-silicon-aluminum structures were measured. The activation energy of the phosphorous dopants was calculated to be approximately 0.29 eV.

Polycrystalline diamond thin films have been deposited on single crystal silicon substrates at low temperatures (⋚ 600 °C) using a mixture of hydrogen and methane gases by high pressure microwave plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition. Low temperature deposition has been achieved by cooling the substrate holder with nitrogen gas. For deposition at reduced substrate temperature, it has been found that nucleation of diamond will not occur unless the methane/hydrogen ratio is increased significantly from its value at higher substrate temperature. Selective deposition of polycrystalline diamond thin films has been achieved at 600 °C. Decrease in the diamond particle size and growth rate and an increase in surface smoothness have been observed with decreasing substrate temperature during the growth of thin films. As-deposited films are identified by Raman spectroscopy, and the morphology is analyzed by scanning electron microscopy.

AbstractPolycrystalline diamond thin films have been selectively deposited on Si, SiO2, Si3 N4, Ta, Mo, alumina, and sapphire substrates using selective damaging by ultrasonic agitation. Novel processes were developed to selectively damage the polished substrates by ultrasonic agitation. Optical and scanning electron microscopy is used to study selectivity and morphology of as-grown diamond thin films.
