Abstract

A mass spectrometric analysis of heavy hydrocarbons (HHCs) during hot-filament CVD diamond growth was performed together with in situ monitoring of the growth rate. Many HHCs were detected and tentatively identified. Of all HHCs studied, only diacetylene shows good correlation with the diamond growth rate under various deposition conditions. Its possible role is discussed.
