  2. Introduction In this work we present the results of in-situ and ex-situ Raman spectroscopic examination of CVD diamond films deposited in a DC discharge plasma. Despite a considerable interest in the CVD technology and the wide use of Raman spectroscopy for the characterisation of diamond CVD films, only a few experiments were described in the literature that were devoted to the Raman in-situ diagnostics of diamond films. The in-situ Raman measurements can be used for determining the temperature of films, because conventional optical pyrometry is hindered by intense emission from the plasma region. Position of Raman lines may also change as a result of the mechanical stresses developed in the material application of an external load.

  12. Conclusions The CVD method was used for fabrication of different thin film carbon materials. Their structural, morphology, phase composition properties were studied by a number of experimental methods including Raman, SEM, STM, AFM, TEM, HRTEM. The original in-situ Raman spectrometer was elaborated and a set of experiments performed to study specificity of the diamond CVD growth in plasma activated by DC discharge.
