Zd. Lin et al., VERY-LOW PRESSURE NUCLEATION OF DIAMOND ON MIRROR-SMOOTH SILICON IN HOT-FILAMENT CHEMICAL-VAPOR-DEPOSITION SYSTEM, Chinese Physics Letters, 13(10), 1996, pp. 753-756
Under very low pressure (0.1 Torr) the high density nucleation of diam
ond on mirror-smooth silicon in hot filament-chemical vapor deposition
system was obtained. The nucleation density of order of 10(10)-10(11)
cm(-2) was achieved, the same achievement which obtained ill microwav
e plasma-chemical vapor deposition system with negative bias. In this
paper the nucleation technique and the effect of low pressure on diamo
nd nucleation were discussed in detail based on the molecular dynamics
.
