Textured diamond films have been deposited on β‐SiC via microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition preceded by an in situ bias pretreatment that enhances nucleation. Approximately 50% of the initial diamond nuclei appear to be aligned with the C(001) planes parallel to the SiC(001), and C[110] directions parallel to the SiC[110] within 3°. The diamond was characterized by Raman spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy.
