ABSTRACTIt is well known that diamond films synthesized from the gas phase have well defined crystal habits which are affected strongly by synthesis conditions. Though there have been many studies of the morphologies of diamond films synthesized by microwave plasma CVD [1,2,3], there have been relatively few reports on the morphologies of these films grown using new high growth rate techniques such as DC plasma jet CVD [4]. Morphology control is very important to keep flat surface, when producing thick diamond films by high growth rate techniques. In this paper we report our investigation of the morphology and growth of diamond films synthesized by DC plasma jet CVD.

The development of homoepitaxial films for advanced device applications has been studied, but high growth rate and diamond film quality have not yet been explored. In the current study, high quality homoepitaxial diamond films were grown on type Ib (100) HPHT synthetic diamond substrate by hot-filament chemical vapor deposition. The reactant gases were mixed by CH4 and H2 with small amounts of N2 (500 to 3000 ppm). Besides, a bias system was used to assist diamond film deposition. The pyramidal crystals on diamond surface can be suppressed and high quality diamond film of FWHM (Full Width at Half Maximum) = 10.76 cm-1 with high growth rate of 8.78 ± 0.2 μm/ hr was obtained at the condition of adding 1000 ppm nitrogen. At the bias voltage of -150 V, the pyramidal crystals can also be suppressed and high quality diamond film of FWHM = 10.19 cm-1 was obtained. With nitrogen addition above 2000 ppm, diamond film was partly doped and some sp2 structures appeared. These homoepitaxial diamond films were characterized by optical microscopy and micro-Raman spectroscopy.

Abstract. In this paper, conditions for obtaining high growth rate during epitaxial growth of SiC by vapor-liquid-solid mechanism are investigated. The alloys studied were Ge-Si, Al-Si and Al-Ge-Si with various compositions. Temperature was varied between 1100 and 1300°C and the carbon precursor was either propane or methane. The variation of layers thickness was studied at low and high precursor partial pressure. It was found that growth rates obtained with both methane and propane are rather similar at low precursor partial pressures. However, when using Ge based melts, the use of high propane flux leads to the formation of a SiC crust on top of the liquid, which limits the growth by VLS. But when methane is used, even at extremely high flux (up to 100 sccm), no crust could be detected on top of the liquid while the deposit thickness was still rather small (between 1.12 μm and 1.30 μm). When using Al-Si alloys, no crust was also observed under 100 sccm methane but the thickness was as high as 11.5 µm after 30 min growth. It is proposed that the upper limitation of VLS growth rate depends mainly on C solubility of the liquid phase.
