The Role of Synthesis Parameters on Growth of Diamond and Diamond-Like Carbon Nano structures Using in Electronics and Semiconductor Industries

Carbon is one of the very special and key elements with unique and miraculous properties in Mendeleev's periodic table. This particular element has different and attractive allotropes due to its high reactivity. Among all the different allotropes of carbon, diamond and diamond-like carbon, there are two special allotropes, the first one is found naturally and the second one is produced in a laboratory. These two allotropes are very similar in terms of characteristics and in some cases they have different points, each of which is used in different industries in its own way. There are key parameters for the production of each of these allotropes. Choosing the type of substrate, the type and percentage of reactive gases, the way of preparation before, after and also during the growth in the sample has a direct effect on the production and purity of diamond and diamond like carbon. In this article, the introduction of these two allotropes and the effective parameters in growth, and its advantages and disadvantages have been discussed.
