Synthetic diamond film production. Sample sheet of different shapes coated in a synthetic diamond film. These films are used in medical applications,such as radiotherapy dosimeters,and artificial retinas. Diamond is the only known inert material that is also a semiconductor and it is this property that makes them suitable for use in and around the human body. A layer of silicon is placed in a chamber and a mixture of hydrogen and methane,heated using microwaves,is injected into it. This forms a plasma gas,which is deposited on a surface as a film.
