Journal ArticleDOI
DNA-modified nanocrystalline diamond thin-films as stable, biologically active substrates.
Wensha Yang,Orlando Auciello,James E. Butler,Wei Cai,John A. Carlisle,J. E. Gerbi,Dieter M. Gruen,Tanya Knickerbocker,Tami L. Lasseter,John N. Russell,Lloyd M. Smith,Robert J. Hamers +11 more
TL;DR: It is shown that nanocrystalline diamond thin-films covalently modified with DNA oligonucleotides provide an extremely stable, highly selective platform in subsequent surface hybridization processes, suggesting that diamond thin -films may be a nearly ideal substrate for integration of microelectronics with biological modification and sensing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis and characterization of highly-conducting nitrogen-doped ultrananocrystalline diamond films

TL;DR: In this paper, trananocrystalline diamond (UNCD) films with up to 0.2% total nitrogen content were synthesized by a microwave plasma-enhanced chemical-vapor-deposition method using a CH4(1%)/Ar gas mixture and 1%−20% nitrogen gas added.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultrananocrystalline diamond thin films for MEMS and moving mechanical assembly devices
Alan R. Krauss,Orlando Auciello,Dieter M. Gruen,Ahalapitiya H. Jayatissa,Anirudha V. Sumant,J. Tucek,Derrick C. Mancini,Nicolaie Moldovan,Ali Erdemir,Daniel Ersoy,Michael N. Gardos,H. G. Busmann,E. M. Meyer,M. Q. Ding +13 more
TL;DR: A major problem with the Si-based MEMS technology is that Si has poor mechanical and tribological properties as discussed by the authors, which makes it unsuitable for MEMS devices, and therefore it is not suitable for them.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fullerenes as precursors for diamond film growth without hydrogen or oxygen additions
TL;DR: In this article, the growth of diamond films using fullerene precursors in an argon microwave plasma was reported, a unique development achieved without the addition of hydrogen or oxygen, and it was speculated that collisional fragmentation of C60 to give C2 could be responsible for the high growth rate of the very fine-grained diamond films.
Journal ArticleDOI
Control of diamond film microstructure by Ar additions to CH4/H2 microwave plasmas
TL;DR: The transition from microcrystalline to nanocrystalline diamond films grown from Ar/H2/CH4 microwave plasmas has been investigated in this article, showing that the surface morphology, the grain size, and the growth mechanism of the diamond films depend strongly on the ratio of Ar to H2 in the reactant gases.
