ABSTRACTThe study of combined single-crystalline and polycrystalline chemical vapor deposited (CVD) diamond wafers is reported. Combined CVD diamond wafers up to 75 mm in diameter were grown, which consist of great number of single-crystalline diamond sections grafted in a polycrystalline diamond matrix. The grown combined CVD wafers were characterized by the Raman spectroscopy. It was shown that in the grafting process, the single- and polycrystalline areas of the combined wafer undergo insignificant stresses, which can be released during the thermal annealing process. Fabricated combined CVD diamond can be used in various applications that employ unique properties of diamond and potentially suitable for industrial use.

The crystalline perfection of microwave plasma assisted chemical vapor deposited (MPACVD) diamond films grown under various conditions has been examined by TEM. Most CVD diamond films thus far reported contain a high density of defects, predominantly twins and stacking faults on {111} planes. We show that under appropriate growth conditions, these planar defects are eliminated from the center of the crystallites, and occur only at grain boundaries where the growing crystallites meet.

Highly oriented and polycrystalline Gd2O3 doped CeO2 thin films were prepared on α-Al2O3(0001) substrates by chemical vapor deposition, using Ce(C5H4C2H5)3 and Gd(C5H4C2H5)3 as precursors. The compositions of the films were controlled by optimizing the vaporization pressure of Gd precursor under the constant vaporization condition of Ce precursor. In-plane electrical conductivities of the films at various temperatures and oxygen partial pressures were evaluated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements. The activation energy of the film was determined as 0.94 eV, which is comparable with that of pulsed laser deposited films.

ABSTRACTTwo organosilicon molecules tetraethysilane (TESi) and tetravinylsilane (TVSi) were used to prepare thin films of silicon carbide by chemical vapor deposition (C. V. D.). In each of the molecule, the ratio C/Si = 8, the only difference between TESi and TVSi is the structure of the radicals ethyl (.CH2-CH3) and vinyl (.CH=CH2). This feature induces different thermal behavior and leads to the formation of different materials depending on the nature of the carrier gas He or H2· The decomposition gases are correlated with the material deposited which is investigated by I.R. and Raman spectroscopy. The structure of the starting molecule influences the mechanisms of decomposition and consequently the structure of the material obtained.

Raman spectroscopy was employed to study Y–Ba–Cu–O films prepared by multilayer, reactive sputtering from separate Y, Cu, and Ba0.5Cu0.5 targets. A set of films having the composition YxBa2CuyOz with 0.7 < x < 1.8 and 2.8 < y < 3.5 and critical temperature with zero resistance, Tc(R = 0), ranging from 25 to 90 K was studied with the Raman technique. The correlation between Raman data and critical temperature, Tc, was investigated. This technique provides important information concerning the film crystallinity, homogencity, and impurity content (including other phases) which is useful in judging the quality of high Tc superconducting films. We also found that the rapid thermal annealing process is a very efficient way to reduce chemical reactions between the film and the substrate.
