摘要
We show that the ion flux of energetic ions is the critical factor for the bias enhancement of the nucleation density of diamond on silicon. The energetic ions penetrate the surface, show little migration and form nanocrystalline graphite. The radicals have low energies and are adsorbed and migrate over the surface. This is confirmed by the shape of the C hillocks formed during biasing. Diamond nucleation is believed to occur either as small diamond crystals, which have grown during biasing, or on graphitic planes, which are oriented locally perpendicular to the surface.
