Abstract

Analysis of a boron-doped diamond film, ∼13 μm thick, deposited onto a mirror-finished n-Si(100) substrate using microwave plasma chemical vapour deposition (CVD), demonstrates the suitability of radiofrequency glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy (rf-GDOES) for rapid depth profiling analysis. The distributions of boron and hydrogen are revealed clearly. Intrestingly, the sputtering of the diamond film is accompanied by smoothing of the initial rough, faceted surface, implying that the ridges sputter more rapidly than the valleys during analysis.
