Abstract

PURPOSE:To simply obtain diamond at a high speed by subjecting an org. compd. or a carbonaceous material to decomposition, evaporation or dissociation in a combustion flame under specified conditions to excite carbon and mixing the excited carbon with hydrogen. CONSTITUTION:A combustion flame at >=600 deg.C is generated with gaseous hydrocarbon such as propane and/or hydrogen and oxygen or air and an org. compd. such as hydrocarbon, alcohol or PE or a carbonaceous material such as graphite is subjected to decomposition, evaporation or dissociation in the flame to excite carbon. About 50-100 times as much hydrogen as the carbon by volume is introduced into the carbon atmosphere and the resulting gaseous mixture is fed to a substrate such as a molybdenum substrate kept at 600-1,200 deg.C to form a diamond film on the surface of the substrate. Diamond crystals may be deposited in the vapor phase at 600-1,200 deg.C.
