متن کاملStep-related growth phenomena on exact and misoriented (OOl> surfaces of CVD-grown single-crystal diamonds
This study gives an overview of growth phenomena observed on {OOl} homoepitaxial diamond films grown by hot-filamentassisted CVD and acetylene-oxygen flame deposition. The main emphasis lies on the nucleation and propagation of steps, which form a key to understanding the growth on the (2 x I) reconstructed (001) faces.
متن کاملNucleation Kinetics of Diamond on Carbide-forming Substrates during Cvd — I. Transient Nucleation Stage
This paper presents a theoretical study on the initial stage of diamond nucleation during CVD. A kinetic model is developed to investigate the time evolution of diamond nucleation on carbide-forming substrates. The calculated results provide some insight into the effects of substrate materials, surface diffusion and adsorption state on diamond nucleation kinetics. Full-length manuscript of the ...
متن کاملUnderstanding the chemical vapor deposition of diamond: recent progress.
In this paper we review and provide an overview to the understanding of the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of diamond materials with a particular focus on the commonly used microwave plasma-activated chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD). The major topics covered are experimental measurements in situ to diamond CVD reactors, and MPCVD in particular, coupled with models of the gas phase chemical an...
متن کاملDesigning Optimal Bias Voltage for Radiotherapy Diamond Dosimeter
Introduction: Recent developments of radiotherapy techniques, require high accuracy detectors to determine the delivered dose in a small area. Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) or naturally growth diamond detectors which are commercially available are good candidates for this purpose. In these detectors two electrodes with high different electrical potential are deposited on both...
