The demand for synthetic diamonds and research on their use in next-generation semiconductor devices have recently increased. Microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD) is considered one of the most promising techniques for the mass production of large-sized and high-quality single-, micro- and nanocrystalline diamond films. Although the low-pressure resonant cavity MPCVD method can synthesize high-quality diamonds, improvements are needed in terms of the resulting area.
