Abstract
Section titled “Abstract”The low‐concentration boron doping is performed from 10 16 to 10 18 cm −3 by ion implantation into heteroepitaxially synthesized large‐area diamond and electrical properties are investigated. Photoluminescence analysis is first carried out to clarify the optical properties of the heteroepitaxial diamond substrate. As a result, defect complexes of nitrogen‐vacancy and silicon‐vacancy are hardly detected in this substrate, suggesting that optically high‐purity diamond can be accomplished by heteroepitaxial growth. Then, the electrical properties of resistivity, mobility, carrier concentration, and conductive type by Hall effect measurements are investigated. For the samples with doping concentrations higher than 10 16 cm −3 , the electrical activation of implanted B acting as acceptors is confirmed. The compensation ratio for the sample with 3.5 × 10 17 cm −3 concentration reaches 76%, indicating the presence of compensating donor‐like centers. With increasing the doping concentration to 3.5 × 10 18 cm −3 , the compensation ratio is significantly reduced to 35%. The observed mobility of the higher doped sample takes almost the ideal value observed for the sample doped by chemical vapor deposition process. It is suggested that the heteroepitaxial synthesis of large‐area and high‐purity substrates should contribute to the further development of the application to electronic, optical, and sensing devices in the future.
