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.

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.

Carbon based films on silicon substrates have been studied by high resolution FE SEM equipped by an EDS analyzer. The first type are carbon nanotube (CNT) [1] films prepared on Si/SiO2 substrates with Ni or Fe layers by radiofrequency plasma chemical vapor deposition. Dependence of nanotube films properties on Ni and Fe thickness and deposition conditions have been studied. The second type of films discussed are microcrystalline and nanocrystalline diamond films grown on pre-treated Si substrates by microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD). The pre-treatment was varied and its effect on diamond films was studied.

Thin diamond film coated WC-Co cutting tool inserts were produced using arc-jet and hot-filament chemical vapor deposition. The diamond films were characterized using SEM, XRD, and Raman spectroscopy to examine crystal structure, fracture mode, thickness, crystalline orientation, diamond quality, and residual stress. The performance of the tools was evaluated by comparing the wear resistance of the materials to brazed polycrystalline diamond-tipped cutting tool inserts (PCD) while machining A390 aluminum (18% silicon). Results from the experiments carried out in this study suggest that the wear resistance of the thin diamond films is primarily related to the grain boundary strength, crystal orientation, and the density of microdefects in the diamond film.

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.
