Abstract: New compositions of matter and device constructs are disclosed in the form of diamond material layers or films having one or more surfaces treated with chemically active radicals, e.g., photo-radical or thermal-radical generators to reduce and stabilize their surface resistance. The compositions exhibit stable, markedly lower surface resistances, e.g., below about 3 kΩ sq−1 or between about 3 and 2 kΩ sq−1 or below 2 kΩ sq−1, or below 1 kΩ sq−1, or lower. In certain embodiments, the diamond material is a epitaxial layer grown on a substrate, e.g., by microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and can have a thickness ranging from about 1 nm to 1 mm, preferably from about 10 nm to 500 μm, or from about 100 nm to 10 μm. The invention also encompasses semiconductor devices fabricated from the surface-modified diamond materials disclosed herein. For example, device can be a field effect transistor in which the diamond material provides a hole conductivity channel between a source region and a drain region that is activated by a voltage applied to an intermediate gate region. Methods are also disclosed for modifying diamond surfaces to decrease and stabilize their surface resistance.
