Thick adherent diamond films on AlN with low thermal barrier resistance - data
This dataset is the study of thick adherent diamond layers on AlN. The txt files can be opened and analysed using any plotting software. The work describes growth of >100μm thick diamond layer adherent on aluminium nitride. While thick films failed to adhere on untreated AlN films, hydrogen/nitrogen plasma treated AlN films retained the thick diamond layers. Clear differences in zeta potential measurement confirms the surface modification due to hydrogen/nitrogen plasma treatment. Areal Raman maps showed an increase in non-diamond carbon in the initial layers of diamond grown on pre-treated AlN. The presence of non- diamond carbon has minimal effect on the interface between diamond and AlN. The surfaces studied with x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) revealed a clear distinction between pre-treated and untreated samples. The surface aluminium goes from nitrogen rich environment to an oxygen rich environment after pre-treatment. Cross section transmission electron microscopy shows a clean interface between diamond and AlN. Thermal barrier resistance between diamond and AlN was found to be in the range of 16 m$^2$K/GW which is a large improvement on the current state-of-the-art.
