Abstract

Apparatus is disclosed for depositing diamond film on a plurality of substrates, and includes: a plasma beam containing atomic hydrogen and a carbonaceous component, and a plurality of substrates, each of the substrates having a deposition surface, the substrates being arranged such that the beam impinges successively on a deposition surface of a first of the substrates and then on a deposition surface of a second of the substrates, the deposition surfaces of the first and second substrates being oriented with respect to each other at a non-zero angle.
