Abstract

A detailed kinetic model of diamond-like film growth from methane diluted in hydrogen using low-pressure, filament-assisted chemical vapor deposition (FACVD) has been developed. The surface kinetics include adsorption of CH3, and H., abstraction reactions by gas-phase radicals, desorption, and two pathways for diamond (sp3) and graphitic carbon (sp2) growth. It is postulated that adsorbed CH2. species are the major film precursors. The proposed kinetic model was incorporated into a transport model describing flow, heat and mass transfer in stagnation flow FACVD reactors. The proposed model predicts observed film growth rates, compositions and stable species distributions in the gas phase. It is the first complete model of FACVD that includes gas-phase and surface kinetics coupled with transport phenomena.
