    摘要: A semiconducting diamond electroluminescence element comprises an electrically conductive substrate, a semiconducting diamond layer formed on the substrate, an insulating diamond layer formed on the semiconducting diamond layer, a front electrode formed on the insulating diamond layer, and a back electrode formed on the conductive substrate in ohmic contact with the same. The color of light to be emitted by the semiconducting diamond electroluminescence element can readily be determined by changing the impurity content in the semiconducting diamond layer. The luminescence intensity of the semiconducting diamond electroluminescence element can readily be changed by changing the voltage applied across the front and back electrodes without entailing dielectric breakdown.

    摘要: Described is an etching method of a diamond film which comprises providing a diamond film in an atmosphere of a gas containing at least oxygen and/or hydrogen and subjecting the diamond film to an irradiation of an electron beam generated by direct current discharge through a pattern of a mask. In this condition, when the diamond film is contacted with the plasma produced by the electron beam in the atmosphere, the unmasked areas are irradiated by the electron beam, and converted to graphite. The graphite is more readily etched by the plasma, so that the diamond film can be etched at a high rate. The etching through a mask ensures a fine etched pattern of the diamond film. In addition, a diamond film with a large area can be etched by this method.

    摘要: A diamond heterojunction diode having an improved rectifying characteristics with a small reverse current and a large forward current. Three layers are formed on a low-resistance p-type silicon substrate by the microwave plasma CVD in the order of a B-doped p type semiconducting diamond layer, an insulating undoped diamond layer (thinner than 1 .mu.m), and an n-type semiconducting silicon layer. Ohmic electrodes are formed on the front side of a n-type semiconducting silicon layer and the back side of a substrate. Under a forward bias, the electric field is applied to the intermediate insulating layer to accelerate the transport of holes and electrons. Under a reversed bias, the energy band has a notch as well as a potential barrier due to the intermediate layer thus preventing holes from transporting from the n-type semiconducting diamond layer to the p-type semiconducting diamond layer, resulting in the improved rectifying characteristics.

    摘要: A plasma reactor for diamond synthesis includes a microwave generator, a waveguide connected to the microwave generator, an antenna disposed within the waveguide to direct the microwaves propagated along the waveguide toward the interior of a reaction chamber, a microwave window provided above the upper wall of the waveguide, a reaction chamber defined by (a) a cylindrical bottom member hermetically joined to the microwave window and the waveguide, (b) a reaction gas inlet port and a gas outlet port in the side wall thereof, and (c) a substrate holder disposed within the reaction chamber in facing opposition to the microwave window so as to be moved toward and away from the microwave window to adjust the distance between the microwave window and the substrate holder to generate a desired microwave resonance mode. A plasma is produced only in the central portion of the reaction chamber, so that the etching of the microwave window and the resulting contamination of the diamond film by impurities produced by etching the microwave window are prevented. The plasma reactor for diamond synthesis is capable of forming a high-quality diamond film on a large surface of a substrate at a high growth rate in a range of 1 to 2 .mu.m/hr.
