A polycrystalline diamond substrate treated with a mixture of NH <inf xmlns:mml=“http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML” xmlns:xlink=“http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink”&gt;3&lt;/inf> and H <inf xmlns:mml=“http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML” xmlns:xlink=“http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink”&gt;2&lt;/inf> O <inf xmlns:mml=“http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML” xmlns:xlink=“http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink”&gt;2&lt;/inf> was directly bonded with a plasma-activated Si wafer. They formed atomic bonds by annealing at 250 °C after contacting surfaces in atmospheric air. The bonding method would contribute to the future large-scale integration of diamond heat spreaders with electronics.
