Abstract

Abstract We demonstrate the process of mechanical polishing of a single crystal diamond substrate to a roughness of no >0.5 nm. We used the anisotropy of the polishing intensity depending on the crystallographic orientation of the diamond substrate relative to the rotation direction of the cast iron grinding wheel (scaife). The surface distortions and its roughness were measured by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and X-ray reflectometry (XRR). The proposed technique optimization allows preparation of ultra-smooth surfaces in a relatively short time of
