Abstract

We describe the electrical characteristics of boron doped homoepitaxial diamond films fabricated using a plasma assisted CVD process, formation of ohmic contacts, high temperature (580°C) Schottky diodes, and a rudimentary diamond MESFET. We also report reversible changes of the conductive state of the diamond surface by various surface treatments for both natural and thin-film diamonds.
