Abstract:
Diamond films were prepared by Microwave Plasma Chemical Vapor Deposition(MPCVD).CH
4/H
2/N
2was the main gas instead of CH
4/H
2.Comparison by adding CO
2auxiliary gas and without adding CO
2.We have a study about the effects of different CO
2concentration on the growth of the diamond films.The studies shows:when the flow rate of CO
2was ranging from 0 to 25 cm
3/min,surface roughness of the diamond films were 8.9 nm,6.8 nm,9.2nm,9.6 nm.It showed that the amount of CO
2introduced can reduce the surface roughness of the diamond films.Further increase the flow rate of CO
2,the surface roughness of the diamond films even became worse.At the same time,when the flow rate of CO
2was ranging from 0 to 15 cm
3/min,the quality and growth rate of the diamond films showed a rising trend.However beyond the critical point.It showed a declining trend.On the other hand,when the flow rate of CO
2was 15 cm
3/min,the quality of the diamond films is not only good,but the growth rate of the diamond films is the highest.
