Abstract

ABSTRACTWe have conducted x-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy analyses of diamond films grown by hot filament assisted chemical vapor deposition (HFCVD). We present results on the relative abundance of the (111), (220) and (400) faces in polycrystalline diamond films as functions of CH4 concentration. The intensity of the (111) peak can be varied from about 20% to 60% by adjusting CH4 in CH4/H2 mixtures. We also present results on preferred orientation in films grown under varying hydrogen treatments. We discuss correlations between the preferred orientation, FWHM of the diamond peak in the Raman spectrum, and surface morphology of the films.
