Method for making n-type semiconductor diamond

摘要

A method for making n-type semiconducting diamond by use of CVD in which n-type impurities are doped simultaneously with the deposition of diamond. As the n-type impurities, an Li compound and a B compound, both, are used at once. After doping, a diamond film thus obtained is etched to peel off its surface. The n-type semiconducting diamond is superior in specific resistivity, 10-2 OMEGA cm or less.
