Abstract

We studied the use of carbon nanotubes as a seeding layer for the nucleation of diamond on Si (100) substrate by using a hot filament chemical vapor deposition (HFCVD) system. Prior to deposition, substrates were seeded with multi-wall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) powder which was prepared separately. MWCNTs were used as nucleation precursors. The diamond grains grew essentially over the nanotubes with a higher growth density in comparison with the un-seeded substrates. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image of surface morphology shows crystallites of cauliflower shaped grains. The micro Raman spectroscopic results show a sharp peak at 1,332 cm-1 corresponding to diamond phase. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic study show the presence of carbon (C1s) phase.
