Method of forming an optically-finished thin diamond film, diamond substrate, or diamond window of high aspect ratio

摘要

In a method of forming a diamond film, diamond substrate, or diamond window, a silicon substrate is provided and the diamond film, diamond substrate, or diamond window is CVD grown on a surface of the silicon substrate. The grown diamond film, diamond substrate, or diamond window has an aspect ratio ≥100, wherein the aspect ratio is a ratio of a largest dimension of the diamond film, diamond substrate, or diamond window divided by a thickness of the diamond film, diamond substrate, or diamond window. The silicon substrate has a thickness greater than or equal to 2 mm. The silicon substrate can optionally be removed or separated from the grown diamond film, diamond substrate, or diamond window.
