摘要 |
A continuous diamond structure deposited by chemical vapor deposition is disclosed having at least two thermal conductivity diamond layers controlled by the diamond growth rate where one thermal conductivity diamond layer is grown at a high growth rate of at least one micron per hour for hot filament chemical vapor deposition and at least 2-3 microns per hour for microwave plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition, on a substrate such as molybdenum in a chemical vapor deposition chamber and at a substrate temperature that promotes the high growth rate, and the other thermal conductivity diamond layer is grown at a growth rate and substrate temperature lower than the high growth rate diamond layer. High growth rate and low growth rate diamond layers can be deposited in any sequence to obtain a continuous diamond structure that does not show distinguishable, separate, crystalline columnar layers, having improved thermal conductivity.
