Abstract
The present invention provides a method for forming a diamond selectively on the topmost part of a pointed tip by applying negative bias to the tip in a chemical vapor deposition system. High temperature tungsten filament is placed above the sharp tip, which is biased negatively to induce selective nucleation and growth of diamond on the topmost part of it.
