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 pressures of 130-160 Torr. The boron-doped diamond films are grown using diborane in the feedgas at concentrations of 1 to 50 ppm. The boron acceptor concentration is investigated using infrared absorption and a four point probe is used to study the conductivity. The temperature dependent conductivity is analyzed to determine the boron dopant activation energy.
