Abstract

The electrical characteristics of high quality single crystal boron-doped diamond are studied. Samples are synthesized in a high power-density microwave plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition (CVD) reactor at a pressure of 160 Torr. The boron-doped diamond films are grown using diborane in the feedgas at concentrations of 0-0.25 ppm, and are compared to those grown previously with 1-10 ppm. The boron acceptor concentration is investigated using infrared absorption, and compared to the boron concentration obtained by SIMS. A four point probe is used to study the conductivity. The temperature dependent conductivity is analyzed to determine the boron dopant activation energy.
