Abstract
Diamond deposition on a large area silicon wafer substrate (ø100 mm) is achieved with a methane/hydrogen plasma induced by an antenna-type coaxial microwave plasma generator. Deposition of diamond is observed over the entire substrate. Diamond precursors are emitted radially onto a silicon substrate from the plasma sphere generated at the tip of the antenna. The possibility of diamond deposition outside the plasma sphere is discussed using a semi-empirical equation.
