This thesis was intended as an investigation of diamond films synthesized by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Two subjects were investigated in chapter 2 and chapter 3 respectively. In chapter 2, the effects of dopant source concentration on morphological features and cathodoluminescence (CL) of polycrystalline diamond films were investigated. Chapter 3 reports the details of establishing a hot filament assisted chemical vapor deposition (HFCVD) set-up for large-area diamond synthesis.
