This paper firstly introduces c-BN in general and its excellent properties that make c-BN a promising candidate competing with diamond as hard coating and as a future high temperature semiconductor material. Furthermore, this paper gives an overview of the recent advances of the different synthetic techniques towards the heteroepitaxial growth of c-BN films. In the end, it will describe the state of the art of <i>n</i>-type doping of these c-BN epitaxial films through which a c-BN/diamond <i>pn</i> diode can be anticipated.
