    Abstract: In a method of synthesizing diamond on a substrate (11) from plasma containing a carbon component, filaments (3) are provided above the substrate (11). The filaments (3) contain tungsten which is a thermoelectron-emitting material. An electrode (4) is provided on a position separating from the filaments (3). The filaments (3) are at least temporarily supplied with a potential relatively higher than that of the substrate (11), while the electrode (4) is at least temporarily supplied with a potential relatively higher than that of the filaments (3). Thus, plasma is generated between the filaments (3) and the substrate (11), while electrons are moved from the filaments (3) to the electrode (4) for generating plasma between the filaments (3) and the electrode (4), thereby forming nuclei of diamond. The potentials of the electron emitters and the electrode are equalized with each other, for growing a film of diamond from the nuclei of diamond.
