This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 894 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diamond films grown by activated chemical vapor deposition have superlative thermal, mechanical, optical, and electronic properties combined with a very high degree of chemical inertness to most environments. These properties, together with the ability to fabricate films and shapes of considerable size, promise an exciting new material with many applications. Some applications are on the verge of commercialization but many await a few more technological developments. Diamond-like films are already employed in both commercial and military applications. The popular press, as well as the scientific and technological and industrial communities, are increasingly interested in the potential for future development of these materials. Although there are many technical papers and review articles published, there is no Single comprehensive introduction to these technologies. The Scientific Affairs Division of NATO recognized the need and the future importance of these technologies and authorized an Advanced Study Institute on diamond and diamond-like films. NATO Advanced Study Institutes are high level teaching activities at which a carefully defined subject is presented in a systematic and coherently structured program. The subject is treated in considerable depth by lecturers eminent in their fields and of international standing. The presentations are made to students who are scientists in the field or who possess an advanced general scientific background.

Download or read book Status and Applications of Diamond and Diamond Like Materials written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1990-02-01 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent discoveries enabling the growth of crystalline diamond by chemical vapor deposition offer the potential for a wide variety of new applications. This new book examines the state of the technology arising from these discoveries in relation to other allied materials, such as high-pressure diamond and cubic boron nitride. Most of the potential defense, space, and commercial applications are related to diamond's hardness, but some utilize its other qualities, such as optical and electronic properties. The authors review growth processes and discuss techniques for characterizing the resulting materials' properties. Crystalline diamond is emphasized, but other diamond-like materials (e.g. silicon carbide and amorphous carbon containing hydrogen) are also examined. In addition, the authors identify scientific, technical, and economic problems that could impede the rapid exploitation of these materials, and present recommendations covering broad areas of research and development.

This book was released on 1994-12-31 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of diamond for electronic applications is not a new idea. As early as the 1920's diamonds were considered for their use as photoconductive detectors. However limitations in size and control of properties naturally limited the use of diamond to a few specialty applications. With the development of diamond synthesis from the vapor phase has come a more serious interest in developing diamond-based electronic devices. A unique combination of extreme properties makes diamond partiCularly well suited for high speed, high power, and high temperature applications. Vapor phase deposition of diamond allows large area films to be deposited, whose properties can potentially be controlled. Since the process of diamond synthesis was first realized, great progress have been made in understanding the issues important for growing diamond and fabricating electronic devices. The quality of both intrinsic and doped diamond has improved greatly to the point that viable applications are being developed. Our understanding of the properties and limitations has also improved greatly. While a number of excellent references review the general properties of diamond, this volume summarizes the great deal of literature related only to electronic properties and applications of diamond. We concentrate only on diamond; related materials such as diamond-like carbon (DLC) and other wide bandgap semiconductors are not treated here. In the first chapter Profs. C. Y. Fong and B. M. Klein discuss the band structure of single-crystal diamond and its relation to electronic properties.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chemical vapor deposited (CVD) diamond thin films grown homoepitaxially as well as on non-diamond substrates have been the subject of intense investigation since the beginning of the last decade. Diamond's remarkable properties such as physical hardness, chemical inertness, high thermal conductivity, high breakdown voltage, and high carrier mobility are the main factors for the attention it has received from many researchers around the world. Although these properties are somewhat degraded in polycrystalline diamond films, they are still superior to many other materials. One of the most potentially useful applications of diamond thin films is in the semiconductor industry. Although a few prototype devices such as field effect transistors and Schottky diodes have been fabricated on diamond, some major obstacles remain to be overcome before full scale commercial applications of diamond as a semiconductor is possible. The high cost of large area monocrystalline diamond substrates has forced researchers to look for alternative substrates for the heteroepitaxial growth of diamond. So far only marginal results have been reported on the growth of highly oriented diamond films and on the heteroepitaxial growth involving substrates that are as costly as diamond. Silicon, as the dominant material in semiconductor industry, has been the subject of much research as a substrate for the growth of polycrystalline diamond. Another problem in development of diamond as a semiconductor is the effective doping of diamond, particularly for n-type conductivity. Although many researchers have studied boron-doped (p-type) diamond thin films in the past several years, there have been few reports on the effects of doping diamond films with phosphorous (n-type). Once these two issues have been solved, other fabrication steps such as oxidation, etching, masking, etc. may be attempted. The present work is a study directed toward solving some of these problems by looking at in-situ doping of n-type hot filament CVD (HFCVD) grown diamond films on silicon substrates. The study includes electrical characterization, stable metallic contacts, effect of silicon substrate surface pretreatment, and selective area deposition. A number of different techniques for inducing diamond nucleation on Si substrates are studied and the resulting diamond films characterized by common techniques such as Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, optical and scanning electron microscopy, and profilometery. The effect of doping the diamond films with different concentrations of phosphorous as well as calculation of the activation energy by temperature measurement was also carried out in this work. A new technique is presented for the selective deposition of diamond films onto silicon substrates.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This panel attempted to identify and prioritize research and development needs in determining the physical, mechanical and chemical properties of diamond and diamond-like-carbon films (D/DLCF). Three specific goals were established. They were: (1) To identify problem areas which produce concern and require a better knowledge of D/DLCF properties. (2) To identify and prioritize key properties of D/DLCF to promote transportation applications. (3) To identify needs for improvement in properties-measurement methods. Each of these goals is addressed subsequently.
