    摘要: A tiled array of diamond plates, which is suitable for wafer scale processing, for example, in the manufacture of electronic or other device structures on the diamond plates. The diamond plates are fixed to a support layer, preferably a polycrystalline diamond support layer, in a substantially planar arrangement such that at least one of the major surfaces of the respective fixed diamond plates defines a fabrication surface that is exposed for further processing. The support layer may be a backing layer, in which case only one of the major faces of the diamond substrate is exposed for further processing, or may extend between respective diamond substrates such that both major surfaces are exposed for further processing.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing a transistor, typically a MESFET, includes providing a substrate including single crystal diamond material having a growth surface on which further layers of diamond material can be deposited. The substrate is preferably formed by a CVD process and has high purity. The growth surface has a root-mean-square roughness of 3 nm or less, or is free of steps or protrusions larger than 3 nm. Further diamond layers are deposited on the growth surface to define the active regions of the transistor. An optional n+ shielding layer can be formed in or on the substrate, following which an additional layer of high purity diamond is deposited. A layer of intrinsic diamond may be formed directly on the upper surface of the high purity layer, followed by a boron doped (“delta doped”) layer. A trench is formed in the delta doped layer to define a gate region.

    摘要: A synthetic single crystal diamond material comprising: a first region comprising electron donor defects; a second region comprising quantum spin defects; and a third region between the first and second regions. The second and third regions have a lower concentration of electron donor defects than the first region. The first and second regions are sufficiently close to allow electrons to be donated from the first region to the second region, thus forming negatively charged quantum spin defects in the second and positively charged defects in the first region, and sufficiently far apart to reduce other coupling interactions between the first and second regions which would otherwise unduly reduce the decoherence time of the plurality of quantum spin defects and/or produce strain broaden of a spectral line width of the plurality of quantum spin defects in the second region.
