Abstract
Diamond film technology has made fast progress in the past few years thanks to the unique properties of diamond such as high heat conductivity and hardness at room temperature. Important new discoveries contributed to this progress. The many processes known to produce diamond films yield products of varying quality depending on the deposition parameters. The structural defects which form in these diamond films during deposition, determine to a large extent the degree to which properties like thermal conductivity and fracture toughness differ from those of a perfect single crystal diamond. It is therefore important to define the various defects and to determine their effect on the properties of the films.
