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.

In this paper, we report, for the first time, growth of high-quality single-crystalline 3C-SiC on silicon substrates using Hot Filament Chemical Vapor Deposition (HF-CVD). Rocking curve X-Ray diffraction (XRD) measurements revealed a full-width at half maximum (FWHM) as low as 333 arcsec for a 15 μm thick layer. Low tensile strain, below 0.1%, was measured using Raman spectroscopy. This quality was achieved with a carefully optimized process making use of the additional degrees of freedom the hot filaments create. For example, the hot filaments allow for precursor pre-cracking. Additionally, they allow a tuning of the vertical thermal gradient which creates an improved thermal field compared to classic Chemical Vapor Deposition techniques used for the deposition of this material today.

ABSTRACTSmooth diamond films have been grown by hot filament chemical vapor deposition under d.c. bias on mirror-polished Si substrates. Films a few micrometers thick were obtained in 30 minutes. Raman spectra showed very broad diamond peaks. X-ray diffraction showed the presence of diamond and also other carbon phase with a line 2.11 Å. With time, the films apparently underwent a phase transformation.

ABSTRACTFor the first time, we are reporting the growth of high quality single crystalline 3C-SiC epitaxially on hexagonal silicon carbide substrates using Hot Filament Chemical Vapor Deposition (HF-CVD) on full 4” wafers. Rocking curve X-Ray diffraction (XRD) measurements resulted in a full width at half maximum (FWHM) as low as 88 arcsec for a 40 µm thick layer. We achieved this quality using a carefully optimized process making use of the additional degrees of freedom the hot filaments create. The filaments allow for precursor pre-cracking and a tuning of the vertical thermal gradient, which creates an improved thermal field compared to conventional Chemical Vapor Deposition. Growth rates of up to 8 µm/h were achieved with standard silane and propane chemistry, and further increased to 20 µm/h with chlorinated chemistry. The use of silicon carbide substrates promises superior layer quality compared to silicon substrates due to their better match in lattice parameters and thermal expansion coefficients. High resolution scanning electron microscopy, X-Ray rocking measurements, and micro-Raman allow us to assess the crystalline quality of our material and to compare it to layers grown on low-cost silicon substrates. Hall measurements reveal a linear increase of the charge carrier density in the material with the flow of nitrogen gas as a dopant. Electron densities above 10-18 cm-3 have been reached.

Diamond films have been grown by hot filament chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on mirror-polished positively biased Si substrates. Very smooth films a few micrometers thick were obtained in only 30 min. SEM, x-ray diffraction patterns, and Raman were used to characterize the films. Not only diamond but other carbon phases, were also detected. The initial structure showed a high density of defects and large stresses. Structural changes in time were found to occur with films apparently undergoing a phase transformation.
