The planarization of rough polycrystalline diamond films synthesized by DC arc discharge plasma jet CVD (chemical vapor deposition) was attempted using KrF excimer laser pulses. The effects of laser incidence angle and reaction gases (ozone and oxygen) on etching rate of diamond were studied. The temperature change of diamond and graphite with different laser fluences was calculated by computer simulation to explain the etching behavior of diamond films. The threshold energy density from the experiment for etching of pure crystalline diamond was about $1.7J/cm^2$ and fairly matched the simulation value. Preferential etching of a particular crystallographic plane was observed through scanning electron microscopy. The etching rate of diamond with ozone was lower than that with oxygen. When the angle of incidence was $80^{\circ}$ to the diamond surface normal, the peak-to-valley surface roughness was Significantly reduced from $20{\mu}m$ to $0.5{\mu}m$.

Defects formation of Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) diamond on $^4He^{2+}$ irradiation and after remote hydrogen plasma treatment(RHPT) were investigated by cathodoluminescence(CL). As calculated in the TRIM simulation, the light elements of $^4He^{2-}$ can be penetrated into the diamond bulk structure at 3~4 $\mu\textrm{m}$ depth. The effects of the implantation region were observed when 5 keV~20 keV electron energy (insight 0.3~4.0$\mu\textrm{m}$) of CL measurement was irradiated to diamond at temperature 80 K. After the RHPT, rehybridization of irradiation damaged diamond was studied. The intensity of 5RL center(intrinsic defect of C) was diminished. The 2.16 eV center (N-V center) occurring usually by annealing could not be seen after RHPT. The diamond was rehybridized by hydrogen radicals without etching and thermal degradation by the RHPT.

The plasma chemical vapor deposition is one of the most utilized techniques for the diamond growth. As the applications of diamond thin films prepared by plasma chemical vapor deposition(CVD) techniques become more demanding, improved fine-tuning and control of the process are required. The important parameters in diamond film deposition include the substrate temperature, $CO/H_2$gas flow ratio, total gas pressure, and gas excitation power. With the spectroscopic ellipsometry, the substrate temperature as well as the various parameters of the film can be determined without the physical contact and the destructiveness under the extreme environment associated with the diamond film deposition. Through this paper, the important parameters during the diamond film growth using $CO+H_2$are determined and it is shown that $sp^2$ C in the diamond film is greatly reduced.

Hot Filament CVD법에 의해 증착된 다이아몬드 박막의 기판온도와 증착시간 변화에 따르는 표면형상 변화를 관찰함으로써 그 증착기구를 규명하고자 하였다. 기판온도가 낮을 경우에는 비정질 탄소 및 DLC(diamond like carbon)가 증착되고 기판온도가 증가함에 따라 사가형의 (100)명으로 구성된 입자를 가지는 다이아몬드 박막이 증착되었으며 매우 높은 기판온도에서는 (100)명과 (111)명으로 이루어진 결정외형을 가지는 입자들로 구성되는 다이아몬드 박막이 증착되었다. 다이아몬드 박막의 (100) 우선배향성은 증착시의 비교적 높은 과포화도에 기인하는 것으로 생각되며, 이러한 (100) 우선배향성을 가지는 박막은 결정면내에 twin을 함유하지 않으므로 단결정박막으로의 성장가능성이 크다. 기판온도가 증가해도 다이아몬드 박막의 입자크기는 증가하지 않았으며 시간에 따른 증가양상도 온도에 관계없이 비슷한 경향을 보였다. 그러나 필라멘트 온도가 일정할 때 다이아몬드 박막의 핵 밀도는 기판온도가 높을수록 증가하였으며 시간에 따른 증가폭도 기판온도가 높을수록 더 크게 나타났다.

아르곤 열플라즈마 CVD장치를 제작하여 메탄과 수소기체의 화학적인 반응을 이용해서 대기압하에서 몰리브덴 기판에 준안정상(metastable state)의 다이아몬드를 합성하였다. 증착실험 후 SEM관찰, X선 회절 및 Raman분광분석을 행한 결과, 기판표면온도와 수소에 대한 메탄 농도비에 따라 증착 입자의 morphology가 변화하였다. 본 연구에서 설정한 증착조건 범위에서 다이아몬드는 기판표면의 온도가 약 $890^{\circ}C$와 수소에 대한 메탄 농도비가 0.5%로 하였을 때, 결정성, 밀도 및 품질이 우수한 다이아몬드 입자를 합성하는 것이 가능하였다.

Two kinds of polished and unpolished freestanding films prepared by DC plasma CVD method were impacted by SiC particles to understand erosion mechanism. Erosion damage caused by solid impact was characterized by surface profilometer, scanning electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. Gradually decrease of surface roughness and sharp reduction of crystallinity for unpolished CVD films were observed with increasing erosion time. It was found that smaller grains of the diamond were removed in early stage of erosion process and larger grains were eroded with further impingement. By introduction of re-growth method on polished diamond, further understanding of erosion mechanism was achieved. Most of the surface fractures were initiated at the grain boundary.

고주파플라즈마 CVD법으로 CH4와 H2의 혼합가스로부터 실리콘과 석영기판 위에 다이아몬드 입자와 박막을 성장시켰다. 기판과 기판지지대 사이에 금속판을 삽입함으로써 기판의 온도와 성장된 박막의 두께를 비교적 균일하게 할 수 있었다. 방전전력이 같은 경우 성장된 박막의 형태는 반응관 압력을 증가시킴에 따라 자형면을 가진 입자로부터 미립자 도는 구성의 입자로 변화되었다. $H_2와{\;}CH_4의$ 혼합가스로부터 Si기판 위에 다이아몬드 박막을 성장시키는 경우, CH4 농도가 0.5vol% 이하가 되어야만 양질의 다이아몬드 박막을 성장시킬 수 있었다. 성장된 다이아몬드 박막은 SEM, XRD 및 Raman 분광기를 사용하여 평가하였다.

The growth properties of diamond grain were examined by Raman spectroscopy and microscope images. Diamond thin films were prepared on single crystal Si wafers by microwave Plasma chemical vapor deposition. Preparation conditions, substrate temperature, boron concentration and deposition time were controlled differently. Prepared diamond thin films have different surface morphology and grain size respectively Diamond grain size was gradually changed by substrate temperature. The biggest diamond grain size was observed in the substrate, which has highest temperature. The diamond grain size by boron concentration was slightly changed but morphology of diamond grain became amorphous according to increasing of boron concentration. Time was also needed to be a big diamond grain. However, time was not a main factor for being a big diamond grain. Raman spectra of diamond film, which was deposited at high substrate temperature, showed sharp peaks at 1334$cm^{-1}$ / and these were characteristics of crystalline diamond. A broad peak centered at 1550$cm^{-1}$ /, corresponding to non-diamond component (sp$^2$carbon), could be observed in the substrate, which has low temperature.

지난 수 십 년간 합성 다이아몬드는 글로벌 다이아몬드 시장에서 점점 더 번창해 왔다. 보석용 합성 다이아몬드를 성장시키는 방법에는 HPHT와 CVD의 두 가지 방법이 있다. HPHT 프레스를 이용하여 성장시킨 보석용 합성 다이아몬드는 1990년대 중반부터 상업적인 생산이 가능해졌고, 현재는 상당한 양의 보석용 무색 HPHT 합성 다이아몬드가 보석산업을 위해 생산되고 있다. 몇 년 전부터는 CVD 합성 다이아몬드가 시장에서 반향을 일으키고 있다. 2021년에는 CVD 합성 다이아몬드의 생산량이 급증했으며 이러한 추세는 계속될 것으로 여겨진다. 본 연구에서는 합성 다이아몬드의 현재 상황을 비롯하여 천연 다이아몬드에 비해 낮은 유통가격, 시장 점유율, 컬러 분포, 분광학적 특성 등에 대한 정보를 보여준다.

The effect of various processing parameters, in particular the substrate and filament temperature, on the nucleation of diamond has been studied for the hot filament CVD process with a negative bias on the substrate. As far as the substrate temperature was maintained around the critical temperature of 73$0^{\circ}C$, the nucleation of diamond increased with increasing filament temperature. The maximum nucleation density of ~ 2$\times$109/$\textrm{cm}^2$ was obtained under the condition of filament temperature of 230$0^{\circ}C$, substrate temperature of 75$0^{\circ}C$, bias voltage of 300V, methane concentration of 20%, and deposition time of 2 hours. This nucleation density is about the same as those obtained in previous investigations. For fixed substrate temperatures, the nucleation density varies up to about 103 times depending on experimental conditions. This result is different from that of Reinke, et al. When the substrate temperature was above 80$0^{\circ}C$, a silkworm~shaped carbon phase was co-deposited with hemispherical microcrystalline diamond, and its amount increased with increasing substrate temperature. The Raman spectrum of the silkworm-shaped carbon was the same as that of graphitic soot. The silkworm-shaped carbon was etched and disappeared under the same as that of graphitic soot. The silkworm-shaped carbon was etched and disappeared under the deposition condition of diamond, implying that it did not affect the nucleation of diamond.
