Abstract

A modification of the anomalous d.c. discharge, which uses plasma rotation induced by an external magnetic field is suggested for the deposition of diamond. Application of the magnetic field results in a better stability of the discharge and in an increase in the deposition rate. Raman analysis shows that diamond can be deposited from gas mixtures containing a high volume percentage of methane. The plasma produced in the d.c. discharge between two parallel electrodes was also expanded through a hollow anode, forming a d.c. jet. This configuration yielded a higher diamond deposition rate.
