Abstract
$SF_6/O_2$ inductively coupled plasmas were employed to texture Si surface as a pretreatment for nanocrystalline diamond film growth. It was found that the $SF_6/O_2$ plasma texturing provided a very wide process window where normalized roughness values in the range of 2~16 could be obtained. Significantly improved nucleation densities of ${\sim}6.5{\times}10^{10}cm^{-2}$ compared to conventional mechanical abrasion were achieved after seeding for the textured Si substrate.
