Hot Filament

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.

Argon Content

The effect of argon content upon the growth rate and the properties of diamond thin films grown with different grains sizes are explored. An argon-free and argon-rich gas mixture of methane and hydrogen is used in a hot filament chemical vapor deposition reactor. Characterization of the films is accomplished by scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy and high-resolution x-ray diffraction. An extensive comparison of the growth rate values and films morphologies obtained in this study with those found in the literature suggests that there are distinct common trends for microcrystalline and nanocrystalline diamond growth, despite a large variation in the gas mixture composition. Included is a discussion of the possible reasons for these observations.

Insight Into

Diamond film was synthesized on thin Ti wafers (as thin as 40 μm) via hot filament chemical vapor deposition (HFCVD). The hydrogen embrittlement of the titanium substrate and the formation of a thick TiC interlayer were suppressed. A very low pressure (133 Pa) was employed to achieve high-density rapid nucleation and thus to suppress the formation of TiC. Oxygen was added to source gases to lower the growth temperature and therefore to slow down the hydrogenation of the thin Ti substrate. The role of the very low pressure during nucleation is discussed, providing insight into the nucleation mechanism of diamond on a titanium substrate. The as-grown diamond films were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy, and x-ray analysis.
