摘要
A bias-enhanced nucleation process for the heteroepitaxial diamond growth by microwave plasma CVD on silicon is studied with TEM. Samples nucleated for different times are investigated and a time schedule of crystal phase formation is found: nanocrystalline beta-SiC with small statistical deviations from the heteroepitaxial orientation forms rapidly at the silicon substrate surface. The layer containing the nanocrystals grows and forms ridges parallel to the [110](Si) directions. Diamond nucleation occurs only on top of this layer, whereby the deviations from the heteroepitaxial orientation are taken over and extended. Finally, the beta-SiC side of the diamond crystals is etched by the plasma. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science S.A.
