Abstract
The demand for quantum functional devices with diamond as the primary structure is rapidly increasing, leading to higher quality requirements for the preparation of micron-scale diamonds. We utilized a low-density seeding method to control diamond growth in the chemical vapor deposition equipment, resulting in the fabrication of micrometer-scale and dispersed single-crystal diamond particles. By discussing the effects of different methane concentrations, growth temperatures, and working pressures on the morphology, crystal faces, crystal properties, and bonding states of diamond, we explored the influence of various process parameters on the diamond growth process. This study provides a solution for preparing high-quality dispersed diamond at the micrometer scale, paving the way for high-quality substrates for quantum devices based on diamond.
