Abstract

Diamond epitaxial films with a thickness of 200-350 A have been successfully grown on C(l00) surfaces by gas- source molecular beam epitaxy (GSMBE) with methane without addition of hydrogen or oxygen. The activation energy was measured by a selective growth method using Ta-patterned substrates to be 15 kcal/mol. This value is close to the activation energy of H2desorption on C(l00), suggesting that the diamond epitaxial growth rate by this GSM BE is limited by hydrogen desorption.
