Semiconductor Diamond Technology
Abstract
This document presents papers representing work in (1) Surface chemistry; (2) Gas-phase diagnostics; (3) Homoepitaxial growth; (4) IGFET fabrication; and (5) Halogen-assisted CVD. Of particular interest was the surface chemistry work expounding the roles of atomic hydrogen on the diamond (100) surface. Atomic hydrogen chemisorbs on the diamond surface at monolayer saturations. Atomic hydrogen does not readily insert on the carbon surface dimer bonds. At dose levels exceeding a monolayer, CH3 and C2H2 desorptions are detected at temperatures approximately 200 C colder than the H desorption. In addition, preliminary work this quarter showed the capability to produce diamond films from a water-based process which does not involve molecular hydrogen as a process gas.
