Etching of CVD diamond surfaces

This thesis presents a fundamental study on etching of diamond surfaces. Details of the growth by microwave plasma Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD) and etching by microwave hydrogen plasma, oxygen reactive ion etching (RIE) and thermal oxidation are presented. Prolonged exposure of {100} diamond sur...
