“…For example, researchers at Nijmegen University, the Netherlands, reported flame and hot filament growth of layers up to 0.5 mm thick (Janssen et al, 1990(Janssen et al, , 1991Schermer et al, 1994Schermer et al, , 1996. In the U.S., Crystallume (Landstrass et al, 1993;Plano et al, 1994) used microwave CVD to produce layers of similar thickness, and Badzian and Badzian (1993) described a layer of single-crystal synthetic diamond that was 1.2 mm thick.…”
