fabrication of diamond-based power electronic devices or high-energy particle detectors.
Here, we report the development of a growth strategy based on the use of micrometric laser-
pierced hole arrays to reduce dislocation densities in heteroepitaxial chemical vapor
deposition diamond. We show that, under optimal growth conditions, this strategy leads to a
reduction in dislocation density by two orders of magnitude to reach an average value of 6× …
