ABSTRACTThe initial stages of bias-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of diamond were investigated in a microwave-plasma system. Samples were characterized with TEM and concurrent electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) to characterize chemical bonding in the deposited material. The results show that a thin amorphous carbon film is deposited during biasing, and that diamond nucleation occurs on this amorphous film. Isolated regions of crystalline SiC within the amorphous layer were also observed at longer bias times. These regions apparently form by a reaction between the amorphous carbon layer and the silicon substrate.
