ABSTRACT

Two hydrogenation surface modifications, namely hydrogen atmosphere heat treatment and hydrogen plasmatreatment, were found to lead to improved dispersion of nanodiamond (ND) seed particles and enhanced nucleation density fordeposition of smooth ultrananocrystalline diamond (UNCD) film. After hydrogenation, the C-O and O-H surface functionalitieson the surface of nanodiamond particles were converted to the C-H surface functionalities, and the Zeta potential wasincreased. As the degree of dispersion was improved, the size of nanodiamond aggregates decreased significantly andnucleation density increased dramatically. After hydrogen heat treatment at 600°C, average size of ND particles was greatlyreduced from 3.5 μm to 34.5 nm and a very high nucleation of ~3.9 × 1011nuclei/cm2was obtained for the seeded Si surface.
