    摘要: A method and apparatus for contructing diamond semiconductor structures made of polycrystalline diamond thin films is disclosed. The use of a polycrystalline diamond deposition on a substrate material provides an advantage that any substrate material may be used and the ability to use polycrystalline diamond as a material is brought about through the use of an undoped diamond layer acting as an insulating layer which is formed on a boron-doped layer. Because of the structure, ion implantation can be employed to reduce the ohmic contact resistance. The ion implantation also provides that the entire structure can be made using a deep implant to form a channel layer which allows the insulating gate structure to be formed as an integral part of the device. The buried channel can be doped through the use of several implantation steps through the insulating undoped layer. As a result, the process and device is able to provide active polycrystallline diamond devices which have excellent resistance and reverse voltage characteristics while having an increased temperature capacity and increased range of operational environmental conditions when contrasted with the silicon technology. Furthermore with the disclosed process and devices, there is no requirement for a single crystal diamond substrate.

    摘要: A diamond light-emitting element capable of intense light emission at low operation voltage. A conductive substrate is disposed on a metallic plate such as copper to form an ohmic contact. A first diamond layer is formed on the conductive substrate. The boron atom concentration in the first diamond layer is 10.sup.19 cm.sup.-3 or higher. A second diamond layer is formed on the first diamond layer. The second diamond layer has a crystal defect density of 10.sup.11 cm.sup.-2 or higher. A second electrode is formed on the second diamond layer. A power supply is connected to the second electrode and the copper plate. When voltage is applied, holes in the first diamond layer recombine with electrons from the second electrode, and hence light emission takes place. The defect levels in the second diamond layer form the recombination centers to achieve high brightness at low operation voltage.
