T. Tomikawa et al., P-N-JUNCTION DIODE BY B-DOPED DIAMOND HETEROEPITAXIALLY GROWN ON SI-DOPED C-BN, DIAMOND AND RELATED MATERIALS, 3(11-12), 1994, pp. 1389-1392
Boron-doped p-type diamond thin film was heteroepitaxially grown on si
licon-doped n-type cubic boron nitride (c-BN) bulk crystal by microwav
e plasma chemical vapor deposition. Utilizing selective etching of the
boron-doped diamond layer to the c-BN substrate, a diamond/c-BN heter
ojunction p-n diode was fabricated for the first time. A small reverse
bias leakage current and more than five orders of rectification ratio
were obtained for the diode.
