Abstract

We present a systematic study of the growth of polycrystalline diamond thin films on W wires and tips by hot filament assisted chemical vapor deposition for x-ray detection purposes. We carry out correlations between scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observations and micro- Raman spectra, while varying different growth parameters. SEM observations show a uniform covering of the substrate, with growth rates ranging from 0.5 to 1.5 micrometers /h. All (mu) - R spectra show a well defined diamond peak at 1330.8-1333.7 cm^-1 together with abroad structure at 1400-1600 cm^-1 and a luminescence background extending over the whole scanned range. A close analysis shows that best quality is obtained with the lowest diameter substrates, at the lowest CH₄ concentration and at a low pressure. Some depositions have been studied as x-ray detectors and their sensitivity at low energy and 6 MeV beam evaluated, showing a good response with respect to standard ionization chambers.
