Hi, Andrea Both Ti and Cr work fine. But based on my experience, Ti's adhesion to microcrystalline diamond is better than Cr. When I used Cr/Au as metal pads on my microcrystalline diamond sample, the pads came off while I was doing wire bonding. However, Ti/Au turned out to be totally fine. I am not sure about other types of diamond.
