Abstract

Diamond thin films were deposited on n-type (100) Si wafers from $H_2-CH_4$ gas mixture by rf PACVD. Prior to deposition, mechanical scratching was done to improve density of nucleation sites with diamond paste of 3${\mu}m$. The microstructure of deposited diamond thin films was studied by using the following conditions : discharge power of 500W, $H_2$ flow rate of 50sccm, reaction pressure of 20torr, and $CH_4/H_2$ ratio of 0.3$\sim$1%. The deposited diamond thin films showed that the crystallite was increased at the lower methane concentration. The deposited thin films were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy. Raman Spectroscopy and Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy.
