It has been shown that layers of a certain type of polymers applied to silicon substrates at the thermal destruction form (in parallel with sp(2) coordinated carbon) diamond nanoparticles, which act as nucleation centers of crystallites in the subsequent chemical vapor deposition of diamond. Microcrystalline diamond films have been synthesized from methane-hydrogen mixtures by microwave plasma using poly(naphthylhydrocarbyn) and poly(hydrocarbyn) preceramic polymers.
