Abstract

Smooth diamond films have been grown by hot filament chemical vapor deposition under d.c. bias on mirror-polished Si substrates. Films a few micrometers thick were obtained in 30 minutes. Raman spectra showed very broad diamond peaks. X-ray diffraction showed the presence of diamond and also other carbon phase with a line 2.11 Å. With time, the films apparently underwent a phase transformation.
