Nucleation of diamonds on Si substrates was pronouncedly improved by pre-coating a thin tungsten film on the substrates, which is attributed to the enhancement on the formation of the W−C phase in the tungsten silicon interface. The fact that the W coating can enhance the generation of the W−C phase for the W/Si subst…
