| Summary: | The objective of the project is to simulate the production of artificial diamonds in a
chemical vapor deposition (CVD) reactor. Diamond layers would form as layers on the
substrate in the reactor. The behavior of the production of artificial diamonds in the
reactor is not clear and a simulation of the process can provide valuable insight. The
project will cover the nucleation and condensation phases of the diamond formation
process in the CVD reactor.
The project deals with the deposition of carbon particles on a layer of substrate in a
manner that causes it to arrange itself to be diamond layers. The homogeneity of the
nucleation process is not considered as the main purpose it to produce a diamond layer
regardless ofhow homogenous the layer is in terms ofnuclei orientation.
The report starts with an introduction to the project, with an outline of the background,
problems statement and objectives of study. Then, a section that touched on the literature
review followed by the methodology of the project which covers the project activities,
key milestones and tools used. Lastly, the results and discussion of the project so far is
presented ending with the conclusion. |
