(111) diamond microcrystals and (100) diamond microcrystals and nanorods were synthesized on Si substrateby hot cathode direct current plasma chemical vapor deposition method. The morphology, structure, andoptical properties of the diamond films were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction,Raman spectra, and Fourier transform infrared spectra. The results showed that (111) and (100) diamondfilms can be grown under the condition of high-temperature (1223 K), low CH4 concentration (4/300 sccm)and low temperature (1098 K), high CH4 concentration (6/300 sccm), respectively. The (100) diamond filmhas lower purity and quality but higher optical transmittance than the (111) diamond film. Thus, the reactortemperature and CH4 concentration are responsible for the growth of diamond films.
