Abstract.
This paper reports the two-dimensional mapping of atomic hydrogen concentration with two-photon excited laser induced fluorescence in a multi-wire grid hot-filament chemical vapor deposition reactor. The measurements were made in a diamond film deposition environment under different filament temperatures and wire configurations. The measurement was calibrated with a titration reaction using NO2 as a titrant. The kinetic gas temperature in the reactor was measured from the Doppler broadening of the Lyman-β transition excited in the fluorescence. The filament temperature was found to have a significant effect on atomic hydrogen production and transfer to the substrate. The axial concentration distributions were compared to a one-dimensional kinetic gas–surface chemistry model with good agreement. The model produced a reasonable estimate for the bulk diamond film growth rate.
