Abstract
Control of diamond film geometry, such as thinning, patterning, shaping, and polishing processes, is essential for nearly all diamond film applications. Because of their extreme mechanical hardness, such processes are often costly and time consuming. In this paper, new efficient processing techniques for thinning and polishing of CVD diamond films using chemical reactions with molten rare earth metals will be described.
