A molecular dynamics model is implemented in a way dedicated to simulate initial conditions close to microwave plasma deposition of thick single crystal diamond films. The sticking coefficient of CH 3 radical is obtained for (111) and (100) surface at three gas and substrate temperatures: 1 120, 1 200, and 1 500 K. A low value of 5.10 −4 is obtained, which is consistent with experimental findings claiming values less than 0.01 or equating to 8.10 −3 at 1 120 K.
