MPCVD 法合成大单晶金刚石的研究进展 Title: Research Progress on the Synthesis of Large Single Crystal Diamonds by MPCVD Method Abstract: The synthesis of large single crystal diamonds using the Microwave Plasma Chemical Vapor Deposition (MPCVD) method has attracted significant attention due to the unique properties and applications of diamonds. This paper provides an overview of the research progress made in this field, including the growth mechanisms, key parameters influencing the synthesis process, and advances in improving the quality and size of the synthesized single crystal diamonds. The challenges and future research directions in this area are also discussed. 1. Introduction Diamonds are widely recognized as the hardest known material with exceptional physical and chemical properties, making them highly desirable for an array of applications, including cutting tools, electronics, and optics. The synthesis of large single crystal diamonds using the MPCVD method has emerged as apromising technique in recent years. This method offers advantages such as high growth rate, controllable process parameters, and the ability to grow large-sized single crystals. 2. Growth Mechanism The growth mechanism of diamond crystals using the MPCVD method involves the dissociation of hydrogen (H2) and methane (CH4) gas mixture in amicrowave-generated plasma reactor. The dissociated carbon atoms deposit on the substrate surface and form diamond crystals. Understanding and controlling the growth mechanism are key factors in achieving high-quality single crystal diamonds. 3. Key Parameters Influencing Synthesis Process Several parameters significantly impact the synthesis process, including temperature, methane concentration, hydrogen concentration, pressure, and substrate type. Optimal control of these parameters is essential to obtain large single crystal diamonds with desired properties. Various experimental and theoretical studies have been carried out to investigate the influence of these parameters on the growth process. 4.
