    摘要: A diamond film deposited on a substrate heated at less than 400.degree. C. in vapor phase from material gas including hydrogen gas and hydrocarbon gas often incurs low strength, low abrasion resistance, and opacity owing to high concentration of non-diamond ingredients. The inventors have discovered that inclusion of nitrogen gas in material gas is likely to raise the concentration of non-diamond ingredients. Good diamond film of good quality shall be obtained by synthesizing from the material gas in which the nitrogen concentration is less than 1000 ppm. The smaller the nitrogen concentration is suppressed, the higher the quality of diamond rises.

    摘要: Diamond having a large coefficient of thermal conductivity is prepared by a CVD method in which a reaction gas is decomposed and reacted under such condition that a concentration of carbon atoms in relation to hydrogen gas (A %), a concentration of nitrogen gas in relation to the whole reaction gas (B ppm) and a concentration of oxygen atoms in relation to the hydrogen gas (C %) satisfy the equation:.alpha.=B.times.(A-1.2C) (I)provided that a is not larger than 13, or B is not larger than 20.

    摘要: A diamond synthesizing method introduces a mixed gas of hydrocarbon gas and hydrogen gas into a reaction vessel (9) which is maintained under a pressure of 1 to 100 Torr. A dc discharge is caused across a cathode (1) and an anode (2), thereby depositing diamond on a substrate (3) which is placed on the anode (2). A positive column of H.alpha.>CH is produced with a high formation rate of atomic hydrogen for promoting decomposition of the hydrocarbon gas, and the concentration of hydrocarbon is reduced while maintaining the condition. According to this method, it is possible to synthesize high-quality diamond, which hardly any non-diamond carbon components such as amorphous carbon and graphite, at a film forming rate of about 1 .mu.m/h.

    摘要: A method of and an apparatus for vapor-phase synthesizing a hard material use a raw material gas supplied into a reaction tube (6) while irradiating a region of the reaction tube (6) with microwaves (18) of a prescribed frequency for causing a synthesizing reaction to produce the hard material along a prescribed direction, by a plasma generation. In the reaction tube (6), at least two plate electrodes (17a, 17b, 19a, 19b) are oppositely arranged in parallel vertically to electric fields of the microwaves (18), so that the plasma is excited between the plate electrodes (17a, 17b, 19a, 19b) for vapor-phase synthesizing the hard material. The microwaves (18) of high electric power are introduced into the reaction tube (6) through a waveguide (5) without loss, so that strong electric fields can be homogeneously and stably distributed between the opposite plate electrodes.

    摘要: A diamond synthesizing apparatus has a reaction tube for internally causing a reaction for vapor-phase synthesizing diamond. A plasma generator produces the required microwave plasma in the reaction tube. The reaction tube is coupled with a gas reservoir, which forms a circulation system with the reaction tube. The circulation system is connectable to an exhaust for evacuating its interior. This circulation system further includes a pump for circulating raw material gas, which is a compound containing carbon. A raw material gas supply is also connectable to the circulation system, for intermittently supplying the raw material gas into the circulation system. During the synthesizing operation the circulation system is completely closed. According to this diamond synthesizing apparatus, it is possible to keep pressure fluctuations and composition fluctuations following a reaction and gas addition, to the minimum and to vapor-phase synthesize diamond in very restricted ranges of gas composition and pressure. Further, the consumption of the raw material gas is substantially reduced and the gas concentration in the reaction tube changes only very slowly and smoothly in gas supply, thus, an adverse influence caused by changes in the gas concentration on the film quality, is substantially eliminated.
