Abstract:
A method for growing carbon nanoflakes includes inducing partial etching of graphene layers of carbon nanotubes through an adequate composition of precursor gases, CH4, H2 and Ar, while allowing carbon nanoflakes to grow at the etched site in a plane-like shape. A carbon nanoflake structure is formed by the same method. The method for growing carbon nanoflakes includes: providing a silicon substrate having carbon nanotubes; and growing carbon nanoflakes on the carbon nanotubes through a chemical vapor deposition process using a mixed gas of CH4, H2 and Ar as a precursor. During the chemical vapor deposition process, the mixed gas of CH4, H2 and Ar is in an atmosphere with excess Ar, graphene layers forming the carbon nanotubes are etched partially under the atmosphere with excess Ar, and graphene layers of carbon nanoflakes are grown at the etched site.
Abstract:
A method for producing a cubic boron nitride (cBN) thin film includes depositing cBN onto nanocrystalline diamond having controlled surface irregularity characteristics to improve the adhesion at the interface of cBN/nanocrystalline diamond, while incorporating hydrogen to a reaction gas upon the synthesis of cBN and controlling the feed time of hydrogen, so that harmful reactions occurring on a surface of nanocrystalline diamond and residual stress applied to cBN may be inhibited. Also, a cBN thin film structure is obtained by the method. The cBN thin film is formed on the nanocrystalline diamond thin film by using a physical vapor deposition process, wherein a reaction gas supplied when the deposition of a thin film occurs is a mixed gas of argon (Ar) with nitrogen (N2), and hydrogen (H2) is added to the reaction gas at a time after the deposition of a thin film occurs.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a chemical vapor deposition apparatus for synthesizing a diamond film and a method for synthesizing a diamond film using the same, which maintains the substrate temperature at an optimum level by suppressing the rise of a substrate temperature, and, thus, improves the degree of activation of a diamond synthesizing gas to increase a diamond growth rate when synthesizing a diamond film. The chemical vapor deposition apparatus for synthesizing a diamond film according to the present disclosure includes a chamber in which a chemical vapor deposition process is performed, a substrate provided in the chamber and giving a place where diamond is grown, and a heat-shielding structure spaced above from the substrate, wherein the heat-shielding structure includes an opening through which a precursor gas is transferable.
