Abstract

In this work we show that the addition of a small amount of CF4 to a regular CH4 -H2 gas mixture allows diamond growth at lower temperatures with reasonable growth rates. We used a hot filament assisted reactor and observed diamond growth with a substrate temperature as low as 390 ଌ. We present a comparative study for the growth dependence on substrate temperature with and without CF4 addition in the gas mixture. The growth rate is measured by post growth weighting with a micro balance. Raman spectroscopy, SEM and AFM images show the good quality of the films grown at low temperatures when CF4 is added to the feeding gas.
