Abstract: Diamond structures with inverse and direct three-dimensional opal lattices with period of 250–530 nm were grown by microwave plasma deposition in methane-hydrogen mixtures using porous SiO$_2$ opal matrix and its Si replica as templates, respectively. The Si templates can be filled with diamond to the depth as large as 80 layers of the spheres.
