ABSTRACT:
A method for preparing heteroepitaxial diamond films on silicon substrates is described. This method first involves the deposition of a cubic boron nitride layer on the silicon substrate as a first interfacial layer using laser ablation with a hexagonal boron nitride target in the presence of a nitrogen-containing atmosphere. The boron nitride layer is followed with a second interfacial layer, generally about 1 to 10 monolayers thick, of hydrogen terminated carbon which is deposited with laser ablation with a carbon target in the presence of atomic hydrogen. Finally, the heteroepitaxial diamond film is deposited using conventional chemical vapor deposition (CVD) techniques with a reactive gas mixture containing hydrogen, a carbon-containing gas or gases, and, optionally, oxygen. Large area, high quality heteroepitaxial diamond films can be prepared by this method. Silicon with such a heteroepitaxial diamond film should be especially suited for the fabrication of high-speed, high-power semiconductor devices at reasonable cost.
