Issue Date: | 2007 | Publisher: | WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH | Source: | PHYSICA STATUS SOLIDI A-APPLICATIONS AND MATERIALS SCIENCE, 204(9). p. 2920-2924 | Abstract: | The influence of the voltage applied to the tip of an atomic force microscope (AFM) on the local modification of the surface of CVD-grown diamond films is studied. By applying a negative voltage to the conductive (highly doped) silicon AFM tip, two kinds of patterns can be created. In the voltage range -6 V to -10 V structures that are elevated with respect to the surface (creation of bumps) are obtained, while at higher voltages (-12 V to -15 V) the patterns are scribed into the diamond surface (creation of pits). The origin of the observed modifications is discussed in terms of an electrochemical process that is enhanced by local heating occurring due to severe current crowding.
