Methods of forming a high conductivity diamond film and structures formed thereby

A method of forming a high thermal conductivity diamond film and its associated structures comprising selectively nucleating a region of a substrate, and forming a diamond film on the substrate such that the diamond film has large grains, which are at least about 20 microns in size. Thus, the larger...

Summary:A method of forming a high thermal conductivity diamond film and its associated structures comprising selectively nucleating a region of a substrate, and forming a diamond film on the substrate such that the diamond film has large grains, which are at least about 20 microns in size. Thus, the larger grained diamond film has greatly improved thermal management capabilities and improves the efficiency and speed of a microelectronic device.
