Abstract

Polycrystalline diamond films are deposited by using a microwave plama CVC system, where the bias-enhanced nucleation (BEN) method is employed. Effects of the varying microwave power, the surface treatment by hydrogen plasma, and the cyclic hydrogen etching during deposition on the crystallinity as well as on the surface roughness of deposited films are examined by Raman spectroscopy, SEM, and AFM. A novel method for achieving a smoother diamond surface is also suggested through the indirect wafer bonding and back-side polishing.
