Hm. Liu et Ds. Dandy, STUDIES ON NUCLEATION PROCESS IN DIAMOND CVD - AN OVERVIEW OF RECENT DEVELOPMENTS, DIAMOND AND RELATED MATERIALS, 4(10), 1995, pp. 1173-1188
This paper presents an updated and systematic overview of the recent d
evelopments in studies on nucleation processes in diamond CVD. The nuc
leation mechanisms are discussed, and the nucleation enhancement metho
ds developed to date are summarized. The effects of surface conditions
and deposition parameters on the surface nucleation are described Fin
ally, a brief description of theoretical and modeling studies on the s
urface nucleation is given.
