    Abstract

    Diamond thin films were grown on diamond (100) substrates in oxygen atmospheres by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) using an ArF excimer laser. The suitable oxygen atmosphere of 5×10-2 Torr can etch the sp2 bonding fractions preferentially. At substrate temperatures between 550°C and 650°C, single-phase diamond films consisting of diamond crystal with diameters of 1 - 5 μm could be grown. The results demonstrated that the diamond thin films can be grown homoepitaxially using PLD by controlling the deposition parameters, such as the oxygen pressure and the substrate temperature.
