研究目的
To enhance (110) orientation in diamond films for improved electronic and optoelectronic device applications by investigating the effects of nucleation time and CH4 concentration in the nucleation stage using microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition.
研究成果
Highly (110) oriented diamond films are successfully grown, with nucleation time >30 minutes and CH4 concentration >7% in the nucleation stage promoting this orientation. Randomly oriented films have higher resistance due to larger grains. This method provides a simple approach for improving diamond film properties in electronic applications.
研究不足
The study is limited to specific MPCVD conditions and silicon substrates; results may not generalize to other systems or materials. Optimization of parameters like pressure and temperature could be further explored for enhanced performance.

Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
4. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow: Substrates are seeded and placed in the MPCVD system. Nucleation and growth are performed with controlled CH4 concentration, time, pressure, microwave power, and substrate temperature. Post-deposition, films are oxidized, electrodes are fabricated, and characterization is done using XRD, Raman, SEM, and I-V measurements.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
XRD patterns are analyzed for orientation using the Lotgering factor. Raman spectra are decomposed into peaks for phase identification. SEM images are used for morphological analysis. I-V curves are measured for electrical resistance.
