Abstract

This article describes the production, using chemical vapour deposition, of single crystal synthetic diamonds. It then discusses their practical use in semiconductor devices. Diamond is a wide band gap semiconductor with high breakdown voltage, high saturation velocity, high carrier mobility, and high thermal conductivity. In addition it is extremely radiation hard. Diamond semiconductors are ideal for high-power, high-frequency electronic applications.
