摘要
We have investigated the growth of sulfur-doped (S-doped) diamond crystals via microwave plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition by introducing hydrogen sulfide (H2S) into the gas phase. Adding a small amount of H2S effectively improved the crystal quality, and the sulfur was successfully incorporated into the crystal. No evidence of hydrogen incorporation was observed in the crystal. The S-doped homoepitaxial (001) diamond showed n-type conduction by Hall effect measurements in the temperature range 250-550 K. The mobility of electrons at room temperature was 597 cm(2) V(-1)s(-1); this value suggests that there could be many practical uses. The crystallinity of the S-doped n-type diamond films were characterized by various techniques which demonstrated the high quality of the films. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
