Yb. Xia et al., NUCLEATION MECHANISM OF POLYCRYSTALLINE DIAMOND FILM DEPOSITED ON CERAMIC ALUMINA BY MICROWAVE PLASMA CHEMICAL-VAPOR-DEPOSITION, Chinese Physics Letters, 13(7), 1996, pp. 557-560
Polycrystalline diamond films have been deposited on ceramic alumina s
ubstrates by microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition method, Variat
ion of the emission spectra in the microwave plasma with the microwave
power and the vapor pressure in the reaction chamber is studied, resp
ectively. Relationships between the hydrogen atomic spectra and the av
erage energy of the electrons in the plasma, as well as the mechanism
of diamond film deposition on ceramic alumina are discussed.
