Boron nitride occurs in several polymorphs, among which cubic and hexagonal varieties
have been extensively studied over many years and have found numerous practical …

Cubic BN (cBN) has a set of extreme properties similar or even superior to diamond. The
advance of science and technology of cBN has however been severely hampered by the …

Boron nitride occurs in several crystalline phases, among which cubic boron nitride (c-BN)
and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) are two of the most interesting wide bandgap materials …

Carbon nitride (CN) thin films were prepared at 600° C by rf plasma pulsed laser deposition.
As we increased the magnitude of the negative dc bias voltage, the CN bonds were …

This book is an introductory manual for Ion Assisted Deposition (IAD) procedures of thin
films. It is addressed to researchers, post-graduates and even engineers with little or no …

The effects of kinetic energy, chemical nature of substrates and temperature on the synthesis
of cBN films are explored to obtain cBN films with industrial quality. Carbon including …

Physical and chemical vapor deposition approaches of growing thick cubic boron nitride
(cBN) films needed for practical applications are reviewed. The interfacial soft …

Cubic boron nitride films were synthesized on silicon substrates by DC-bias-assisted DC jet
chemical vapor deposition in an Ar–N2–BF3–H2 system. By this method, the deposition of …

This article reviews recent progress in the deposition of thick, adherent, cubic boron nitride
(c-BN) films. Most of the previous work applied ion-assisted physical vapor deposition …

Using plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) based on fluorine chemistry,
the limitations hindering the practical use of cubic boron nitride (cBN) films in mechanical …
