摘要
Epitaxial diamond with remarkably low p-type doping (1x10(14)-1x10(17) cm(-3)) and exceptionally low compensation similar to1x10(13) cm(-3), has enabled the demonstration of a optically-switched conduction modulation of the epitaxial layer. Charge exchange between the diamond substrate and the epitaxial layer makes it possible to modulate the conductivity of the epitaxial layer. Incandescent light will make the lightly p-doped epitaxial layer insulating and ultraviolet radiation will make the layer conductive again. Once the layer conductivity has been established it will remain in the same electrical state for days, if kept in the dark. (C) 2004 American Institute of Physics.
