摘要
p-type diamond single crystal layers were grown by Microwave Plasma-enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (MPCVD) on {111}-oriented lb-type diamond substrates. The variation of the gas-phase boron-to-carbon atomic concentration ratio from 0.1 ppm to 104 ppm led to solid state incorporations of boron ranging from the 8 x 10(15) cm(-3) to 3 x 10(21) cm(-3). Low temperature cathodoluminescence spectra in the bandgap region are shown to yield a reliable estimate of the quality of the layers and of the neutral acceptor concentration up to the metal-insulator transition. Temperature-dependent resistivity and Hall effect measurements allow a discussion of the relevance of the various charge carrier scattering mechanisms. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
