Abstract

A set of phosphorus doped CVD diamond films with various doping levels were grown epitaxially on {111} surfaces of synthetic type Ib diamond crystals and analysed by infrared absorption spectroscopy. Infrared absorption spectra clearly indicated the presence of neutral substitutional phosphorus in the samples. Two peaks located at 523 and 562 meV, corresponding to the electronic transitions from the phosphorus ground level IS to the first and second excited states 2P0 and 2P+/- respectively, are present in the infrared spectra. Resistivity measurements were also performed to calculate the activation energy. All results (infrared spectra, activation energy, hopping conduction and photoconductivity) seem to indicate an n-type doping of the films. However, due to the high resistivity it was not possible to carry out Hall measurements.
