20130143022 | METHOD FOR PRODUCING DIAMOND LAYERS AND DIAMONDS PRODUCED BY THE METHOD - The present invention relates to a method for producing diamond layers, wherein firstly, in a first growing step, diamond is grown on a growing surface of a off axis or a off-axis heterosubstrate in such a way that a texture width, in particular a polar and/or azimuthal texture width, of a diamond layer produced during the growth decreases with increasing distance from the substrate and then, in a second growing step, diamond is grown in such a way that the texture width of the diamond layer remains substantially constant as the distance from the substrate further increases, and lattice planes of the substrate being inclined by an angle greater than zero with respect to the growing surface. | 06-06-2013 |
