Abstract

Diamond is distinguished from all other semiconducting materials in that practically all its properties were determined and even several types of devices produced using natural crystals. But it is the progress in growing large semiconducting diamonds and in particular the explosive increase, over the last 15 years, of the research and growth of CVD diamond films that led to a renewed interest in the use of diamond for semiconducting devices.

Properties of impurities and defects affecting electrical and optical parameters of diamond are reviewed briefly with the emphasis on their possible use in diamond based electronic devices. Special attention is given to doping diamond by ion implantation with relevant problems of defect control discussed on the example of boron-implanted p-type layers. Luminescent centres due to impurity-defect complexes are considered in view of their possible use in diamond based light-emitting devices.
