Abstract

A process for producing a diamond thin-film includes forming a diamond crystal thin-film on a substrate and firing the diamond crystal thin-film at a sufficient temperature under high pressure under which a diamond is stable. A diamond single-crystal substrate having a diamond single-crystal thin-film formed thereon is placed in an ultra-high-pressure and high-temperature firing furnace to anneal the diamond single-crystal thin-film under the conditions of 1200° C. and 6 GPa.
