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.

A method of manufacturing the optical window comprising the steps of forming an optical window which is made of at least diamond as a window material, a flange for a vacuum apparatus, a joint frame for joining the diamond to the flange, and a joining material of specified properties for joining the joint frame to the diamond, and a diamond plate, fitting the joint frame to the flange, and fitting the diamond plate to the joint frame through the joining material. The effect is further enhanced by suitably specifying the shape, material and so forth of the joint frame.
Abstract:
A conductive polycrystalline diamond film having a specific resistance of 1x10-4 to 1x103Φcm and a thickness 1-500 νm is formed on the surface of a substrate used for contact bonding, the opposite surface of the substrate, or two or more side faces of the substrate intersecting the surfaces by using a vapor phase synthesis method.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce manufacturing cost of a diamond heat dissipating part and to prevent deterioration of a performance caused by thermal stress, by joining a heat dissipating part of a specified thickness formed into a plate-like substrate shape with a wax material of a specified thickness. SOLUTION: A semiconductor laser 1 and a vapor phase synthetic diamond 4 of a thickness 3-9 μm formed on a plate-like substrate 5 are joined together with a wax material 2 of a thickness 2-8 μm, so that a thermal stress generated in a semiconductor element 1 is relaxed. The cost is significantly reduced compared with a conventional diamond because the maximum thickness is 9 μm. Not only reduce the cost but also a diamond film is made thin to prevent thermal stress. The diamond synthesized on the substrate 5 in a vapor phase synthetic manner is rough in the surface, and usually it is not fit for mounting on the semiconductor element if it is used as it is. However, in a thin film of the film thickness of the diamond 3-9 μm, a desired surface roughness is achieved even when especially no process is performed after synthesis.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide electron emitting elements sufficiently emitting electrons and easily manufacture them with uniform quality by growing diamond lugs each having a shape capable of emitting electrons and a sharp tip section on the surface of a diamond substrate. SOLUTION: The surface of a diamond substrate preferably has a (100) plane, a (110) plane, or a (111) plane, and diamond lugs 26 on it are surrounded by the (111) plane, or the (111) plane and (100) plane, or the (100) plane. A cylindrical upheaval portion 25 integrally formed on the substrate 21 of a high- crystallinity Ib type or natural diamond single crystal is used as a nucleus, and each lug portion 26 is obtained by vapor phase synthetic epitaxial growth. The lug portion 26 is surrounded by an inherent crystalline plane governed by the symmetric property of a crystalline structure, it has electrical and mechanical characteristics peculiar to a single crystal, it is sharpened at the atomic level, it has a shape determined by the plane index of the surface of the substrate 21, and the surface of the lug portion 26 is stable in energy.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To maintain specified insulating property by preparing a diamond polycrystal with metal films formed on the upper and lower faces and cutting the polycrystal in the vertical direction to produce diamond crystal chips each having the upper face, the lower face and a cut face from the upper face to the lower face, and subjecting the cut face to plasma treatment. SOLUTION: Metal films are formed by sputtering Ti, Pt, Au and gold tin in this order or the upper and lower faces of a diamond polycrystal which is preliminarily cut into a specified dimension. Then a photoresist is applied on the metal films to transfer a specified pattern to form a metal film pattern. The diamond polycrystal is cut into a grid by using a YAG laser or excimer laser to obtain a diamond polycrystal chips (heat sink). Then the chips are disposed so that only cut faces are exposed to plasma and then subjected to plasma treatment by using CF4 /O2 gas with 0 to 70% halides such as CF4 . The electric resistance on the upper and lower faces is controlled to >=1×10 Ω.cm.
