ABSTRACTIt is shown that the blister testing technique can be used to measure the adhesion of thin films to their substrates. A brief discussion of blister test mechanics is presented here, leading to a simple equation relating adhesion to the height of the blister and the pressure causing it to grow. Blister test data for plasma-enhanced CVD diamond films on Si substrates have been analyzed using this relation. The tests show adhesion energies of 1.8– 2.6 J/m2.

The morphology of typical CVD diamond thin films has been shown to be controlled by the concentration of methane during deposition. For example, for CH4 concentrations c < 0.4% the (111) faces dominate, while at 0.4% < c < 1.2% (100) faces dominate. Here we showed that the (100) oriented diamond films can be grown on top of the microcrystalline ball-like particles under suitable conditions. These (100) oriented diamond films are grown under the condition of 1.5% methane in hydrogen, substrate temperature of 680 °C–750 °C, and pressure of 30–80 Torr. The bombardment of the diamond thin films by ions in the plasma is believed to be an important factor for the formation of (100) oriented films on top of the ball-like particles. SEM, Raman, and x-ray techniques were used to characterize the deposited (100) oriented diamond thin films.

Diamond thin films were grown on diamond (100) substrates in oxygen atmospheres by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) using an ArF excimer laser. The suitable oxygen atmosphere of 5 × 10-2 Torr can etch the sp2 bonding fractions preferentially. At substrate temperatures between 550°C and 650°C, single-phase diamond films consisting of diamond crystal with diameters of 1 - 5 μm could be grown. The results demonstrated that the diamond thin films can be grown homoepitaxially using PLD by controlling the deposition parameters, such as the oxygen pressure and the substrate temperature.
