Real time spectroellipsometry has been applied to determine the deposition rate and thickness evolution of the nondiamond (sp2‐bonded) carbon volume fraction in very thin (<1000 A), but fully coalesced, nanocrystalline diamond films prepared on Si substrates by microwave plasma‐enhanced chemical vapor deposition from gas mixtures of CO and H2. At a substrate temperature of ∼800 °C, high quality diamond films can be obtained over two orders of magnitude in the CO/H2 gas flow ratio, from 0.04, the lowest value explored, to ∼5. A well‐defined minimum in the sp2 C volume fraction (0.03 in a 600 A film) is observed for a CO/H2 ratio of 0.2, corresponding to the C–H–O diamond‐growth phase‐diagram coordinate XH/Σ=[H]/{[H]+[C]} of 0.9. Under these conditions, the deposition rate increases with increasing temperature over the range of ∼400–800 °C with an activation energy of 8 kcal/mol, behavior identical to that observed for diamond film growth from a CH4/H2 ratio of 0.01. This observation shows that the dominant...
