The synthesis of diamond films on adamantane-coated Si substrate at low temperature

Growth, microstructure, and field-emission properties of synthesized diamond film on adamantane-coated silicon substrate by microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition

“…In our previous studies, we have shown that the adamantane precursor not only increases the quality, crystallinity, and growth rate but also enhances the yield than that of without adamantane-coated. 37 Further, The XRD pattern also support formation of the microdiamond crystalline film, as shown in Fig. 4.…”

Electrical characterization of MIM capacitor comprises an adamantane film at room temperature

“…The Raman peaks at 1432 and 1472 cm −1 may be due to E CH 2 scissor mode. [6][7][8][9][10] It is clearly indicates that we have successfully grown adamantane film onto the substrate. This is consistent with SEM results.…”

“…Diamondoids melt at much higher temperatures than other hydrocarbon molecules with the same number of carbon atoms in their structures. [5][6][7][8] The applications of higher diamondoids are still in early stage. It is inexpensive and easily commercial available materials.…”

Nucleation of diamond films on heterogeneous substrates: a review

“…It is evident from the images that the use of adamantane solution enhanced the seeding density by orders of magnitude. In the same year Tiwari et al [170][171][172] attempted to grow diamond on silicon coated adamantane which was directly sublimated on the substrate. They deposited a 0.9 mm thick layer of diamondoid prior to growth.…”
