Abstract

ABSTRACTHigh quality diamond films have been successfully grown, by step-flow, on (001) diamond substrates using an end-launch type chemical vapor deposition reactor. Electrical properties of as-deposited diamond films as well as the surface morphology and the film crystallinity were investigated. Optical and atomic-force microscope images indicated that diamond films consisted of atomically flat terraces and macroscopic steps running parallel to [110×l and 1×2 double-domain structure. The currentvoltage characteristics of Al-Schottky contacts to these step-flow grown diamond films showed excellent rectification properties, indicating the potential of this material for electronic applications.
