Absorption and cathodoluminescence spectra have been recorded for single crystals of diamond and polycrystalline films of diamond, grown by microwave-assisted chemical vapor deposition (CVD) using methane and hydrogen. The investigation has been carried out to see to what extent the properties of CVD diamond are similar to those of conventional diamond, and to what extent they are unique. Studies have been made of the as-grown material, which has not been intentionally doped, and also samples that have been subjected to radiation damage and thermal annealing. The single crystals grown using methane concentrations of 0.5 to 1.0% exhibit bright blue “band A” emission and also intense edge emission, similar to the cathodoluminescence spectra of some natural type IIa diamonds. This implies that the crystals are relatively free from structural and chemical defects, a conclusion which is reinforced by the absence of any zero-phonon lines in the absorption spectra of crystals which have been subjected to radiation damage and annealing at 800 °C. Before radiation damage the spectrum does, however, reveal an absorption which increases progressively to higher energies, and which may be associated with sp2-bonded carbon. The Cathodoluminescence spectra after radiation damage indicate that the crystals contain some isolated nitrogen, and the detection of H3 luminescence, following thermal annealing at 800 °C, demonstrates for the first time that these samples contain small concentrations of nitrogen pairs. All of the polycrystalline films, grown using methane concentrations between 0.3 and 1.5%, have an absorption which increases progressively to higher energies, and which again is attributed to sp2-bonded carbon. This absorption is stronger in the films grown using higher methane concentrations. Films grown at a methane concentration of 0.3% also exhibit bright blue cathodoluminescence, although the edge emission is undetectably weak. The use of higher methane concentrations produces films with evidence in the cathodoluminescence spectra of nitrogen + vacancy and nitrogen + interstitial complexes, as well as optical centers unique to CVD diamond. One particular defect produces an emission and absorption line at 1.681 eV. By implanting conventional diamonds with 29Si ions it has been confirmed that this center involves silicon, and it has been shown that the 1.681 eV luminescence is relatively more intense in implanted diamonds which have a high concentration of isolated nitrogen.
