Ion beam deposition provides an additional control of ion beam energy over the chemical vapor deposition methods. We have used a low energy ion beam of hydrogen and carbon to deposit carbon films on Si(100) wafers. We found that graphitic films, amorphous carbon films, and oriented diamond microcrystallites could be obtained separatedly at different ion beam energies. The mechanism of the formation of the oriented diamond microcrystallites was suggested to include three components: strain release after ion bombardment, hydrogen passivation of sp3 carbon, and hydrogen etching. Such a process can be extended to the heteroepitaxial growth of diamond films.
