摘要
We have developed a unique method to produce smooth diamond films using a modified microwave plasma process system. This method consists of sequential in situ deposition and planarization in an electron cyclotron resonance plasma system. Diamond films were deposited to a thickness of 3.0 mu m in this system at a pressure of 1.000 Ton: from gas mixtures of methanol and hydrogen. Deposition was followed by planarization using a two-grid ion beam extraction process with a pure oxygen plasma at 10 mTorr, The average roughness of the diamond films so produced was as low as 30 nm, which was a factor of two lower than that of the as-deposited diamond films.
