A magnetic sensor element using highly-oriented diamond film comprises a magnetic detecting part, at least a pair of main current electrodes for flowing a main current and generating the Hall electromotive force at the magnetic detecting part, and detection electrodes for detecting said Hall electromotive force. Said magnetic detecting part is formed of a highly-oriented diamond film grown by chemical vapor deposition, at least 90% of which consists of either (100) or (111) crystal planes. Between the adjacent crystal planes, the differences {.DELTA..alpha., .DELTA..beta., .DELTA..gamma.} of the Euler angles {.alpha., .beta., .gamma.} which represent the orientation of the crystal planes, satisfy the following relations simultaneously: .vertline..DELTA..alpha..vertline..ltoreq.10.degree., .vertline..DELTA..beta..vertline..ltoreq.10.degree. and .vertline..DELTA..gamma..vertline..ltoreq.10 .degree.. The magnetic sensor element using highly-oriented diamond film has a high heat stability and sufficiently high level of magnetic field sensitivity to be used practically, enabling to expand the surface area and to increase the integration of the element and to measure magnetic field over a wide area and a large space.

A diamond-based structure includes a substrate, an adhesive material on a face of the substrate, and an array of spaced apart diamond mesas bonded to the substrate by the adhesive material. In particular, each of the diamond mesas can have a growth surface adjacent the substrate and an interfacial surface opposite the substrate, and the interfacial surface can be smooth relative to the growth surface. This structure can be fabricated by providing a sacrificial substrate, forming a plurality of diamond mesas on a face of the sacrificial substrate, bonding the diamond mesas to a transfer substrate, and removing the sacrificial substrate. Accordingly, the interfacial surfaces of the diamond, which are formed adjacent the sacrificial substrate and then exposed by removing the substrate are smooth.
