摘要
The diffusion and out-diffusion properties of hydrogen have been investigated in homoepitaxial layers of CVD boron-doped diamond which have been exposed to a deuterium microwave plasma. The diffusion experiments show that the onset of (B, H) pair dissociation occurs at 550 degrees C. The hydrogen diffusion activation energy is 1.4 eV. Hydrogen out-diffuses at 880 degrees C and the diamond surface barrier limits the out-diffusion process. In r.f, plasma exposed diamond epilayers, the hydrogen out-diffusion spectra are composed of a peak at 720 degrees C related to the subsurface hydrogen accumulation layer and another one at 840 degrees C attributed to the hydrogen adsorbed at the surface.
