Abstract: | Particulate or film-like diamond was prepared on silicon substrates from CO-H2 mixed gas using a microwave plasma technique. The growth rate of diamond without graphite and amorphous carbon, as measured by Raman spectroscopy, was 9m h–1 for particles and 4mh–1 for flims. These values were larger than those in other source gas systems, such as CH4-H2, CH4-H2-H2O and CH3OH-H2. The good formation rate and high quality of diamond in the CO-H2 system was attributed to acceleration of methyl radical formation by the reaction of excited CO and H2 molecules and removal of by-product graphite by OH radicals in the plasma. |
