10.2.1 NCD Definition
Films with large grain size (i.e., high surface roughness), low diamond purity, or large
stress are undesirable for device integration and performance. In the 1990s, a new class of
diamond material, nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) emerged (Butler and Sumant 2008). It
is essentially a thin version of conventional MCD and its surface is composed of the facets
of the largest crystals that survived during the nucleation process. Such a Van De Drift
growth mechanism leads to NCD surface roughness proportional to the lm thickness.
With its grain size, surface roughness, and thickness, all in the range of 10s–100s of nano-
meters, it became easy to microfabricate and integra ...
