Microwave plasma modelling in clamshell chemical vapour deposition diamond reactors
Jerome A. Cuenca, Soumen Mandal, Evan L. H. Thomas +1
A microwave plasma model of a chemical vapour deposition (CVD) reactor is presented for understanding spatial heteroepitaxial growth of polycrystalline diamond on Si. This work is…
Contact resistance of various metallisation schemes to superconducting boron doped diamond between 1.9 and 300 K
Scott A. Manifold, Georgina Klemencic, Evan L. H. Thomas +4
Diamond is a material that offers potential in numerous device applications. In particular, highly boron doped diamond is attractive due to its superconductivity and high Young's M…
Thick adherent diamond films on AlN with low thermal barrier resistance
Soumen Mandal, Jerome Cuenca, Fabien Massabuau +9
Growth of 100 m thick diamond layer adherent on aluminium nitride is presented in this work. While thick films failed to adhere on untreated AlN films, hydrogen/nitrogen plas…
Superconducting Diamond on Silicon Nitride for Device Applications
Henry A. Bland, Evan L. H. Thomas, Georgina M. Klemencic +4
Chemical vapour deposition (CVD) grown nanocrystalline diamond is an attractive material for the fabrication of devices. For some device architectures, optimisation of its growth o…
A simple, space constrained NIRIM type reactor for chemical vapour deposition of diamond
Evan L. H. Thomas, Laia Gines, Soumen Mandal +2
In this paper the design of a simple, space constrained chemical vapour deposition reactor for diamond growth is detailed. Based on the design by NIRIM, the reactor is composed of…
Redox agent enhanced chemical mechanical polishing of thin film diamond
Soumen Mandal, Evan L. H. Thomas, Laia Gines +4
The chemical nature of the chemical mechanical polishing of diamond has been examined by adding various redox agents to the alkaline SF1 polishing slurry. Three oxidizing agents na…
Surface zeta potential and diamond seeding on gallium nitride films
Soumen Mandal, Evan L. H. Thomas, Callum Middleton +9
Measurement of zeta potential of Ga and N-face gallium nitride has been carried out as function of pH. Both the faces show negative zeta potential in the pH range 5.5-9. The Ga fac…
Polishing of {100} and {111} single crystal diamond through the use of Chemical Mechanical Polishing
Evan L. H. Thomas, Soumen Mandal, Emmanuel B. Brousseau +1
Diamond is one of the hardest and most difficult to polish materials. In this paper, the polishing of {111} and {100} single crystal diamond surfaces by standard Chemical Mechanica…
Chemical mechanical polishing of thin film diamond
Evan L. H. Thomas, Geoffrey W. Nelson, Soumen Mandal +2
The demonstration that Nanocrystalline Diamond (NCD) can retain the superior Young's modulus (1,100 GPa) of single crystal diamond twinned with its ability to be grown at low tempe…
