We have studied the substrate off-angle effects for the crystalline quality of the homoepitaxial diamond films mainly by using steady-state cathodoluminescence (CL) and time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) measurements. By means of the microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition method under high-power microwave power with high methane concentrations, the homoepitaxial diamond films were grown on the high-pressure/high-temperature-synthesized (HPHT) Ib (001) substrates inclined along either <110> or <100> direction by different off-angles ranging from 2° to 5°. In spite of high growth rates, we have succeeded in improving crystalline quality by employing the HPHT substrates with considerably large off-angles. Both steady-state CL and time-resolved PL measurements clearly indicate that larger off-angles lead to better crystalline quality of the homoepitaxial film, suggesting that further improvements in crystalline quality can be expected when using substrates having even larger off-angles.
