Abstract
The present invention includes an apparatus and method for depositing diamond on a substrate. A hydrocarbon/hydrogen gas mixture is passed through a refractory metal hollow cathode which is self heated to a high temperature. The gas mixture is dissociated by a combination of thermal and plasma effects. The plasma plume emanating from the hollow cathode heats the substrate which is positioned on a surface of the anode. Growth of the diamond film is enhanced by bombardment of electrons.
