Abstract:
Provided are a stack and a single-crystal diamond substrate that can be manufactured with high quality and at low cost, and a method of manufacturing the same. A stack of a ruthenium film 3 and a diamond film 4, and a single-crystal diamond substrate 1 include the ruthenium film 3 and the diamond film 4 heteroepitaxially grown on the ruthenium film 3. A surface of the ruthenium film 3 is the (0001) plane, and a surface of the diamond film 4 is a (111) plane. Ruthenium is used as a base film for heteroepitaxially growing the diamond film 4.
Abstract:
A method for treating a surface of a diamond thin film according to one aspect of the present invention performs one of a first substitution process for substituting part of hydrogen-terminals of a diamond thin film with fluorine-terminals in the absence of a fluorocarbon deposition on the surface of diamond thin film and a second substitution process for substituting part of hydrogen-terminals of a diamond thin film with fluorine-terminals in the presence of the fluorocarbon deposition on the surface of diamond thin film based on required surface properties of the diamond thin film.
