Abstract

The behavior of aluminum-CVD diamond film (prepared by a hot filiament method)-silicon structures has been studied as a function of filament temperature which is one of the film deposition variables. As the filament temperature increases from 2173 to 2373 K, diamond-film surface roughness and crystallite size increase, nondiamond carbon content decreases, and device behavior changes from ohmic to Schottky. The diamond-film resistivity in all cases is substantially lower than that of bulk natural diamond and decreases with increasing filament temperature perhaps due to increased incorporation of hydrogen in the films.
