Abstract

The ability to grow thin films of polycrystalline diamond at atmospheric pressure and below is a relatively new development. This technology, while still immature, has potential electronic applications in thermal management, packaging, lithography and active electronic devices. Non-electronic applications include abrasives, wear resistance surfaces, tool coatings, optical coatings and IR optics. The current status of low pressure diamond growth, and the related field of diamond-like films, will be reviewed and possible future directions indicated.
