Abstract

Highly oriented diamond films were deposited on a (001) silicon substrate by bias enhanced MPCVD technique. Three-dimensional TEM characterizations were carried out to understand the nucleation and growth mechanism of diamond grains. The surface morphology, defects, and misorientations of diamond films were compared as a function of synthesizing temperatures and thickness of the films. From our experimental results the texture formation mechanism of diamond films is discussed.
