Diamond is well known as the hardest material in nature. It also has other unique bulk physical and mechanical properties, such as very high thermal conductivity and broad optical transparency, which enable a number of new applications now that large areas of diamond can be fabricated by the new diamond plasma chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technologies. A study on the effects of growth kinetics and properties of diamond films obtained by addition of argon (~7 vol. %) into the methane/hydrogen mixture is carried out using HFCVD system. A negative bias was used as a nucleation enhancement method in addition to the argon dilution. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image of surface morphology shows well faceted crystallites with a predominance of angular shapes corresponding to <100> and <110> crystalline surfaces. The nucleation density and growth rate with argon dilution is two orders of magnitude higher than without argon deposition. The Raman spectra show a good quality film whereas XPS spectra show existence of only diamond phase.

Diamond thin films by MWPECVD in methane-hydrogen mixed gas were studied, with emphasis on the investigation of the effect of discharge power and pressure. As a result, the growth rate of diamond thin films was affected by discharge power and the surface morphology of diamond thin films was affected by pressure. The growth rate of diamond films was about 1.65 ${\mu}m$/hr under the condition of MW power: 900W, pressure: 60torr, $H_2$ flow rate: 60sccm, $CH_4$ concentration: 1 % and deposition time: 5hr. The deposited diamond films were identified by SEM, XRD and Raman spectrophotometer.

Diamond films were deposited on the cemented tungsten carbide WC-Co cutting insert substrates by using both microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition(MWPCVD) and radio frequency plasma chemical vapor deposition (RFPCVD) from $CH_4$$-H_2$$-O_2$ gas mixture. Scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction techniques were used to investigate the microstructure and phase analysis of the materials and Raman spectrometry was used to characterize the quality of the diamond coating. Diamond films deposited using MWPCVD from $CH_4$$-H_2$$-O_2$ gas mixture show a dense, uniform, well faceted and polycrystalline morphology. The compressive stress in the diamond film was estimated to be (1.0∼3.6)$\pm$0.9 GPa. Diamond films which were deposited on the WC-Co cutting insert substrates by RFPCVD from $CH_4$$-H_2$$-O_2$ gas mixture show relatively good adhesion, very uniform, dense and polycrystalline morphology.

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.

The rf plasma chemical vapor deposition is a common method employed for diamond or amorphous carbon deposition. Diamond possesses the strongest bonding, as exemplified by a number of unique properties-extraordinary hardness, high thermal conductivity, and a high melting tempera tore. Therefore, it is very important to investigate the synthesis of semiconducting diamond and its use as semiconductor devices. An inductively coupled rf plasma CVD system for producing amorphous carbon films were developed. Uniform temperature and concentration profiles are requisites for the deposition of high quality large-area films. The system consists of rf matching network, deposition chamber, pumping lines for gas system. Gas mixtures with methane, and hydrogen have been used and Si (100) wafers used as a substrate. Amorphous carbon films were deposited with methane concentration of 1.5% at the process pressure of S torr~20 torr, and process temperature of about $750^{\circ}C$. The nucleation and growth of the amorphous carbon films have been characterized by several methods such as SEM and XRD.

A DC thermal plasma system has been designed and constructed to obtain diamond films from a mixture of CH4 and H2. The effects of the deposition conditions such as substrate temperature ($850^{\circ}C-1050^{\circ}C$), gas mixing ratio (0.5-1.5% CH4 in H2), chamber pressure (50 - 200 Torr), axial magnetic field (0 - 900 Gauss) on the diamond film properties such as morphology, purity of the film and deposition rate, etc. have been examined with the aids of Scanning Electron Microscopy, X-Ray Diffraction and Raman Spectroscopy. Under optimum conditions, high quality diamond films can be obtained with high deposition rate (>$1{\mu}m/min$). Both of the growth rate and' particle size increased with the substrate temperature but the morphology changed from the faceted to unshaped when the temperature deviates its proper range. Furthermore, higher growth rates of $1.5{\mu}m/min$ can be obtained by applying an axial magnetic field to plasma torch. The observed values of interplanar spacings of diamond were in a good agreement with the values reported in ASTM data and all deposits have the diamond peak of $1332.5\;cm^{-1}$ in the Raman Spectra.

마이크로웨이브 화학 기상 중착법을 이용하여 n 형 Si(100) 기팡위에 다이아몬드 박막을 증착하였다. 다이아몬드의 핵생성 밀도를 향상시키기 위하여 Si 기판을 다이아몬드 분말로 전처리 하거나 negative bias를 인가하여 다이아몬드 박막을 증착하였다. 전처리한 기판에서는 다이아몬드의 순수도가 전체압력이 증가함에 따라 (20~150 Torr)향상되었으며 bias 인가시에는$CH_4$ 농도와 전체압력에 따라 다이아몬드의 생성유무가 결정되었다.플라즈마의 이온에 의해 가판위에 생성되는 전류를 $CH_4$ 농도, bias 전압, 그리고 전체압력에 따라 측정하였으며 그 결과를 다이아몬드 박막의 생성 조건과 관련시켜 검토 하였다.

Diamond was uniformly nucleated on large area Si(001) substrate (3cm$\times$4cm) using the low pressure magnetoactive microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition. $CH_4/He$ gas mixture was used as source gas in order to obtain high radical density in the nucleation enhancement step. $CH_3$radical density was measured by means of infrared laser absorption spectroscopy. The effect of substrate bias voltage on diamond nucleation was examined. The results showed that a suitable positive bias voltage appled to the substrate with respect to the chamber could enhance diamond nucleation while a negative bias voltages leaded to deposition of only non-diamond phase carbon.

Helicon waves were excited by a Nagoya type III antenna in magnetized plasma, and hydrogen and methane are fed through a Mass Flow Controller(MFC). We made a diagnosis of properties of helicon plasma by H$_2$gaseous discharge, and fabricated the diamond thin film. The maximum measured electron density was 1${\times}$10$\^$10/ cm$\^$-3/. Diamond films have been growo on (100) silicon substrate using the helicon plasma chemical vapor deposition. Diamond films were deposited at a pressure of 0.1 Torr, deposition time of 40~80 h, a substrate temperature of 700$^{\circ}C$ and methane concentrations of 0.5~2.5%. The growth characteristics were investigated by means of X-ray Photoelectron (XPS) and X-ray Diffraction(XRD), XRD and XPS analysis revealed that SiC was formed, and finally diamond particles were definitely deposited on it. With increasing deposition time, the thickness and crystallization of the daimond thin film increased, For this system the optimum condition of methane concentration was estimated to near to 1.5%.

For improvement of wear resistance property of atmospheric thermal plasma sprayed molybdenum (Mo) coating, diamond deposition on the atmospheric plasma sprayed molybdenum coating by the combustion flame chemical vapor deposition (CFCVD) has been operated. In this study, to diminish the thermal damage of the substrate during operation, a thermal insulator was equipped between substrate and water-cooled substrate holder. Consequently, diamond particles could be created on the Mo coating without fracture and peeling off. From these results, it was found that this process had a high potential in order to improve wear resistance of thermal sprayed coating.
