Multiple substrate microwave plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition single crystal diamond synthesis

A multiple substrate, microwave plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition synthesis process for single crystal diamond (SCD) is demonstrated using a 915 MHz reactor. Diamond synthesis was performed using input chemistries of 6-8% of C H 4 ∕ H 2 , microwave input powers of 10 - 11.5 kW , substrate te...

Zusammenfassung:A multiple substrate, microwave plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition synthesis process for single crystal diamond (SCD) is demonstrated using a 915 MHz reactor. Diamond synthesis was performed using input chemistries of 6-8% of C H 4 ∕ H 2 , microwave input powers of 10 - 11.5 kW , substrate temperatures of 1100 - 1200 ° C , and pressures of 110 - 135 Torr . The simultaneous synthesis of SCD over 70 diamond seeds yielded good quality SCD with deposition rates of 14 - 21 μ m ∕ h . Multiple deposition runs totaling 145 h of deposition time added 1.8 - 2.5 mm of diamond material to each of the 70 seed crystals.
