Emission Spectroscopy of the Microwave Plasma Used for Diamond Depostion: Importance of the C3 Radical

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSB,volume 266))

Abstract

Knowledge of intermediate species present in the plasma during chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of diamond is a necessary first step to the understanding of this complex process. Several hydrocarbons have been proposed as such key intermediate species for diamond deposition. Frenklach and Spear [1] suggested a growth mechanism from acetylene, C2H2, while other authors assumed that the methyl radical, CH3 plays the most important role [2–6]. A mechanism considering only the CHn radicals has been recently proposed by Chen [7].
