This volume brings together some of the key components in what is an exciting scientific and technical challenge: to establish diamond as an engineering material that will revolutionise operations in optics, mechanics and electronics. The collection of papers gives a "snapshot" of a rapidly developing subject. It should attract comments and thoughts from those that have not previously considered thin-film diamond to be a maturing subject, as well as being stimulating to all of them already working in the area.

It is now over thirty years since a method was first described for the pyrolysis of hydrocarbons to form thin film diamond. We are now entering a new phase, in which potential applications of this unique material are driving improved understanding of diamond synthesis, better control of both phase purity and structural perfection, and engineering advances that will reduce the cost and increase the deposition rate. In this highly competitive area, researchers from many countries have contributed to our knowledge base, and there are several established international conferences concentrating on diamond thin films. This book brings together some of the key components in what is an exciting scientific and technical challenge: to establish diamond as an engineering material that will revolutionise operations in optics, mechanics and electronics. The sequence of papers in the book moves from fundamental studies of the deposition process, the surface structure of diamond and its stability, and the nucleation of diamond on a foreign substrate, through the current capacity for achieving epitaxial quality films, to the characterisation of diamond quality. The final section describes some of the variety of applications, and their requirements, that are being introduced to potential users.

This volume reviews the state of the art of thin film diamond, a very promising new semiconductor that may one day rival silicon as the material of choice for electronics. Diamond has the following important characteristics; it is resistant to radiation damage, chemically inert and biocompatible and it will become "the material" for bio-electronics, in-vivo applications, radiation detectors and high-frequency devices. Thin-Film Diamond is the first book to summarize state of the art of CVD diamond in depth. It covers the most recent results regarding growth and structural properties, doping and defect characterization, hydrogen in and on diamond as well as surface properties in general, applications of diamond in electrochemistry, as detectors, and in surface acoustic wave devices. · Accessible by both experts and non-experts in the field of semi-conductors research and technology, each chapter is written in a tutorial format· Helping engineers to manufacture devices with optimized electronic properties· Truly international, this volume contains chapters written by recognized experts representing academic and industrial institutions from Europe, Japan and the US

Discusses the most advanced techniques for diamond growth Assists diamond researchers in deciding on the most suitable process conditions Inspires readers to devise new CVD (chemical vapor deposition Ever since the early 1980s, and the discovery of the vapour growth methods of diamond film, heteroexpitaxial growth has become one of the most important and heavily discussed topics amongst the diamond research community. Kobashi has documented such discussions with a strong focus on how diamond films can be best utilised as an industrial material, working from the premise that crystal diamond films can be made by chemical vapour disposition. Kobashi provides information on the process and characterization technologies of oriented and heteroepitaxial growth of diamond films.

An understanding of thin-film diamond by physical and chemical vapour deposition CVD is of wide application in materials science. This book provides an account of the physical, mechanical and chemical properties of diamond thin films as well as examining the engineering techniques and problems required to exploit them successfully. "Diamond Thin Films" explores the application and measurement of CVD in existing applications and their potential for new usage. The properties of diamond and the techniques of synthesis are examined in detail, with particular emphasis on diamond growth by CVD and quality, shaping and reaction factors. The areas for future study and application are discussed in terms of current state-of-the-art materials and surface science. This book should be a valuable resource for materials scientists and physicists involved in the study of semi-conductor materials, thin films and surface science.

Diamond, as well as being a precious gem, is a versatile material par excellence. No other material comes anywhere near to matching its properties, which are both extreme, and also expressed in rare combinations. However, natural diamonds, and those synthesised under high sandpressure temperatures, are too expensive or small for many technological applications. These limitations can be overcome by using large-area diamond coatings; chemically bonded to inexpensive non-diamond surfaces. The consequent economic advantages provide the driving force for much diamond-related research and technology.

The exceptional mechanical, optical, surface and biocompatibility properties of nanodiamond have gained it much interest. Exhibiting the outstanding bulk properties of diamond at the nanoscale in the form of a film or small particle makes it an inexpensive alternative for many applications. Nanodiamond is the first comprehensive book on the subject. The book reviews the state of the art of nanodiamond films and particles covering the fundamentals of growth, purification and spectroscopy and some of its diverse applications such as MEMS, drug delivery and biomarkers and biosensing. Specific chapters include the theory of nanodiamond, diamond nucleation, low temperature growth, diamond nanowires, electrochemistry of nanodiamond, nanodiamond flexible implants, and cell labelling with nanodiamond particles. Edited by a leading expert in nanodiamonds, this is the perfect resource for those new to, and active in, nanodiamond research and those interested in its applications.
