The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a diamond substrate, and more particularly, to a method of growing diamond after forming a structure of an air gap having a crystal correlation with a lower substrate by heat treatment of a photoresist pattern and an air gap forming film material on a substrate such as sapphire (Al.sub.2O.sub.3). Through such a method, a process is simplified and the cost is lowered when large-area/large-diameter single crystal diamond is heterogeneously grown, stress due to differences in a lattice constant and a coefficient of thermal expansion between the heterogeneous substrate and diamond is relieved, and an occurrence of defects or cracks is reduced even when a temperature drops, such that a high-quality single crystal diamond substrate may be manufactured and the diamond substrate may be easily self-separated from the heterogeneous substrate.
