Notes:
Diamond films on surfaces of cubic boron nitride substrate grown by microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition are investigated. Deposited films are characterized by scanning electron microscopy, reflection high-energy electron diffraction, and micro-Raman spectroscopy. We found a new stacking growth mode of the epitaxial diamond films which is distinguished from the previous observed modes. The morphologies of diamond (100) facets formed on the {221} and {100} surfaces of cubic boron nitride are steps and/or stages, respectively. This is beneficial to growing a fair perfect single-crystal films of diamond.
