Abstract

High quality single crystal boron-doped diamond films are deposited in a microwave plasma-assisted CVD reactor with feedgas mixtures including hydrogen, methane, diborane, and carbon dioxide at reactor pressures of 160 Torr. The effect of diborane levels and other growth parameters on the incorporated boron levels are investigated, and the doping efficiency is calculated over a wide range of boron concentrations. The boron level is investigated using infrared absorption, and compared to SIMS measurements, and defects are shown to affect the doping uniformity.
