Abstract

The method for depositing multilayers of PCD film onto the substrate comprises chemically depositing a polycrystalline diamond layers onto the substrate at deposition temperatures in the range of 650.degree. to 825.degree. C., interrupting the deposition process with a cool-down step and then depositing at least one other layer under the same deposition conditions. The method enables one to deposit PCD films having a thickness of at least 12 microns for applications on flat as well as curved substrates having wide use in the electronics industry. Thick PCD films of this invention have been found to be ideal for dissipating heat from radio frequency (RF) and microwave (MW) devices.
