A semiconductor device having active parts made from semiconductor diamond. The active parts include a high doped diamond layer for supplying free carriers and a non- or low doped diamond layer for giving the free carriers a conductive region. The free carriers are transferred from the high doped diamond layer to the non- or low doped diamond layer by diffusion or an applied electric field. Since the free carriers move at high speeds in the non- or low doped diamond layer without being scattered by dopant atoms, the semiconductor device is applicable to high frequency devices with stability against a change in temperature.
摘要:
A semiconductor device has a structure in which doped layers and undoped layers are alternately stacked and is constituted by (a) a semi-insulating substrate, (b) undoped layers consisting of a substantially undoped diamond material, and (c) thin doped layers formed between the undoped layers and consisting of a diamond material doped with B as an impurity. Stable operation characteristics can be obtained within a temperature range from room temperature to a high temperature while a semiconductor material having a deep impurity level is used.

Improvement of a high frequency device having metal layers, active semiconductor layers and other semiconductor layers which make use of carrier avalanche or carrier injection induced by a reverse bias voltage for amplification or oscillation of high frequency waves. The active semiconductor layers are made of semiconductor diamond. High heat conductivity and high insulation breakdown voltage of diamond heighten the output power of oscillation or amplification.

The characteristics of a Schottky junction between diamond and metal causes the diode using the Schottky junction to have a large leakage reverse current and n-value far bigger than 1. A surface of diamond on which a Schottky junction shall be formed is pretreated by oxygen plasma or halogen plasma. The oxygen plasma or hydrogen plasma improves the surface state of the diamond by decoupling the surface C--C bonds and endowing the resulting extra bonds with hydrogen atoms, normalizing the superlattice structure at the surface. Pretreatment of the diamond by the oxygen or halogen plasma improves the diode properties; decreasing reverse current, increasing forward current and decreasing the n-value nearer to 1.
摘要:
Reactive ion etching of diamond using oxygen plasma roughs the surface of diamond due to the strong bombardment of oxygen ions with various kinetic energy. A metal grid with holes is installed between the oxygen plasma and the diamond. Since the metal grid is biased in order to prevent oxygen plasma from being in contact with the diamond, the oxygen ions which have passed the grid will bombard the surface of the diamond with common, low energy. The etched surface becomes smooth.

摘要:
A diamond electron source in which a single sharpened tip is formed at one end of a pillar-shaped diamond monocrystal of a size for which resist application is difficult in a microfabrication process, as an electron emission point used in an electron microscope or other electron beam device, and a method for manufacturing the diamond electron source. One end of a pillar-shaped diamond monocrystal 10 is ground to form a smooth flat surface 11, and a ceramic layer 12 is formed on the smooth flat surface 11. A thin-film layer 14 having a prescribed shape is deposited on the ceramic layer 12 using a focused ion beam device, after which the ceramic layer 12 is patterned by etching using the thin-film layer 14 as a mask. A single sharpened tip is formed at one end of the pillar-shaped diamond monocrystal 10 by dry etching using the resultant ceramic mask.

An n-type diamond epitaxial layer 20 is formed by processing a single-crystalline {100} diamond substrate 10 so as to form a {111} plane, and subsequently by causing diamond to epitaxially grow while n-doping the diamond {111} plane. Further, a combination of the n-type semiconductor diamond, p-type semiconductor diamond, and non-doped diamond, obtained in the above-described way, as well as the use of p-type single-crystalline {100} diamond substrate allow for a pn junction type, a pnp junction type, an npn junction type and a pin junction type semiconductor diamond to be obtained.
