    摘要: A plasma reactor for diamond synthesis includes a microwave generator, a waveguide connected to the microwave generator, an antenna disposed within the waveguide to direct the microwaves propagated along the waveguide toward the interior of a reaction chamber, a microwave window provided above the upper wall of the waveguide, a reaction chamber defined by (a) a cylindrical bottom member hermetically joined to the microwave window and the waveguide, (b) a reaction gas inlet port and a gas outlet port in the side wall thereof, and (c) a substrate holder disposed within the reaction chamber in facing opposition to the microwave window so as to be moved toward and away from the microwave window to adjust the distance between the microwave window and the substrate holder to generate a desired microwave resonance mode. A plasma is produced only in the central portion of the reaction chamber, so that the etching of the microwave window and the resulting contamination of the diamond film by impurities produced by etching the microwave window are prevented. The plasma reactor for diamond synthesis is capable of forming a high-quality diamond film on a large surface of a substrate at a high growth rate in a range of 1 to 2 .mu.m/hr.

    摘要: A method is presented to manufacture substrates for growing monocrystalline diamond films by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on large area at low cost. The substrate materials are either Pt or its alloys, which have been subject to a single or multiple cycle of cleaning, roller press, and high temperature annealing processes to make the thickness of the substrate materials to 0.5 mm or less, or most preferably to 0.2 mm or less, so that either (111) crystal surfaces or inclined crystal surfaces with angular deviations within .+-.10 degrees from (111), or both, appear on the entire surfaces or at least part of the surfaces of the substrates. The annealing is carried out at a temperature above 800.degree. C. The present invention will make it possible to markedly improve various characteristics of diamond films, and hence put them into practical use.

    摘要: A diamond Schottky diode including an electrically conductive substrate, a multi-layer structure of a semiconducting diamond layer and an insulating diamond layer, and a metal electrode. This diode has a greater potential barrier under a reversed bias and hence exhibits better rectifying characteristics with a smaller reverse current.

    摘要: A method is related to grow monocrystalline diamond films by chemical vapor deposition on large area at low cost. The substrate materials are either bulk single crystals of Pt or its alloys, or thin films of those materials deposited on suitable supporting materials. The surfaces of those substrates must be either (111) or (001), or must have domain structures consisting of (111) or (001) crystal surfaces. Those surfaces can be inclined within .+-.10 degree angles from (111) or (001). In order to increase the nucleation density of diamond, the substrate surface can be scratched by buff and/or ultrasonic polishing, or carbon implanted. Monocrystalline diamond films can be grown even though the substrate surfaces have been roughened. Plasma cleaning of substrate surfaces and annealing of Pt or its alloy films are effective in growing high quality monocrystalline diamond films.

    摘要: A diamond heterojunction diode having an improved rectifying characteristics with a small reverse current and a large forward current. Three layers are formed on a low-resistance p-type silicon substrate by the microwave plasma CVD in the order of a B-doped p type semiconducting diamond layer, an insulating undoped diamond layer (thinner than 1 .mu.m), and an n-type semiconducting silicon layer. Ohmic electrodes are formed on the front side of a n-type semiconducting silicon layer and the back side of a substrate. Under a forward bias, the electric field is applied to the intermediate insulating layer to accelerate the transport of holes and electrons. Under a reversed bias, the energy band has a notch as well as a potential barrier due to the intermediate layer thus preventing holes from transporting from the n-type semiconducting diamond layer to the p-type semiconducting diamond layer, resulting in the improved rectifying characteristics.
