The surface morphology and the uniformity of {100}-oriented textured grains at the BEN step were found to be greatly increased by applying the cyclic process with some optimal H2 plasma etching time during the BEN stage., application/pdf}, pages = {9752--9756}, title = {Role of cyclic process in the initial stage of diamond deposition during bias enhanced nucleation}, volume = {91}, year = {2002} }
