Abstract
Ion implantation of Si or C into single crystals of 6H SiC inhibits the nucleation rate of diamond films subsequently deposited onto these substrates by the hot-filament assisted CVD process. The rate of nucleation decreases with increasing ion fluence and is completely suppressed at a fluence that produces an amorphous SiC surface. Masks have been used to produce patterns on the substrate that result in patterned diamond components. The diamond film can then be removed by dissolving the substrate in a suitable etchant.
