By using the so called bias enhanced nucleation process followed by a growth process in an ellipsoidal reactor, artificial CVD-diamond can be grown on many refractory metal surfaces. The fabrication of single crystal diamond, however requires well-oriented (mostly [100]) substrates with lattice constants close to diamond and high chemical and thermal stability. A suitable candidate is iridium, deposited e.g. on A-plane sapphire [1], yttrium stabilized zirconia (YSZ) (100) [2] or lanthanum aluminate (LaAlO3) (100). In related works, we've already established a low-temperature deposition process for the hetereroepitaxial growth of iridium (100) on A-plane sapphire. In this study we investigated the influence of different oxidic substrate surfaces on the iridium film characteristics with respect to surface morphology and growth behavior by characterizing the surface morphology, crystallinity, and growth defects of iridium on LaAlO3 and YSZ with X-ray diffraction, electron backscattering diffraction, and high resolution transmission electron microscopy.
