CVD Micron Diamond Powders

Article Preview

Abstract:

The conventional diamond powders (< 10 μm) are generally produced from crushing the large-sized diamonds synthesized by high-pressure and high-temperature (HPHT) technique, whereas they have many morphological imperfections. In the present work, the hot filament chemical vapour deposition (HFCVD) technique is employed for synthesizing such diamond powders. A great many of micron diamonds are grown simultaneously but independently onto a large-area substrate. First, the seeds with an appropriate density approximately 1.3×1010 m-2 are dispersed evenly onto a mirror-polished silicon wafer by using a spin coater machine. Afterwards, the regrowth mechanism of seeds is mainly discussed. The results demonstrate that the unwanted spontaneous and secondary nucleation play a determinant role in keeping well in the morphology of crystals and inhibiting the poly-crystals growth.
