CVD Diamond can now be deposited either in the form of single crystal homoepitaxial layers, or as polycrystalline films with crystal sizes ranging from mm, μm or nm, and with a variety of growth rates up to 100s of μm h−1 depending upon deposition conditions. We previously developed a model which provides a coherent and unified picture that accounts for the observed growth rate, morphology, and crystal sizes, of all of these types of diamond. The model is based on competition between H atoms, CH3 radicals and other C1 radical species reacting with dangling bonds on the diamond surface. The approach leads to formulas for the diamond growth rate G via mono and biradical dimer sites and for the average crystallite size , that use as parameters, the substrate temperature and the concentrations of H and CHx (0 ≤ x ≤ 3) near the growing diamond surface. We recently added a correction factor to the equation for and we now test the predictions of this new equation for diamond crystallite sizes ranging from...
