Abstract
We have shown previously that porous diamond membranes can be fabricated us ing a method based on growing diamond on a patterned silicon substrate. The technique used to pattern the silicon is conventional lithography. In this work we present a method for reducing the pore size using diamond post-dep osition over the membrane. An important concern in this work was to determi ne the pore-shutting rate, considering the time post-deposition and the por e morphology. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
