The importance of using optimized diamond powder suspension for an efficient seeding process is shown to be crucial for the growth of hierarchically structured nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) films. The morphology of freshly adhered human osteoblastic cells (SAOS‐2) on such structured NCD films is significantly influenced by the substrate roughness. The hierarchically structured NCD films can thus find application in cell cultivation implants and tissue engineering.
