Abstract
The present invention relates to a heat dissipating substrate with a highly-oriented diamond film of a low crystal inclination and a low density grain boundaries and having a significantly high thermal conductivity. At least 90% of the surface area of the highly-oriented diamond film is covered with either (100) or (111) crystal planes, and the differences {.DELTA..alpha., .DELTA..beta., .DELTA..gamma.} of the Euler angles, which represent the orientations of the crystals, between adjacent (100) or (111) crystal planes, simultaneously satisfies the following relationship: .vertline..DELTA..alpha..vertline..ltoreq.5.degree., .vertline..DELTA..beta..vertline..ltoreq.5.degree., and .vertline..DELTA..gamma..vertline..ltoreq.5.degree.. In addition, this highly-oriented diamond film can be grown on a non-diamond substrates, and therefore the diamond film with a large surface area can be obtained. Thus, the present invention provides the heat dissipating substrate with an excellent thermal conductivity at low cost.
