This work studies diamond growth on copper by microwave plasma chemicalvapour- deposition (MPCVD). Diamond nucleation and growth characteristics are the essential aspects in CVD process. We show that the substrate pre-treatment influences strongly the diamond nucleation. The diamond quality and grow...
