Passive Diamond Electronic Devices

摘要: Diamond electronic device exploration began over 70 years ago with evaluations of natural stones for potential use as radiation detectors.1 Often thousands were painstakingly evaluated their “counting” properties in the presence ionizing radiation.2, 3 Over years, electrical, mechanical, optical, and magnetic have been studied stones.1 These often found to be superior those any other material. The development synthetic high temperature, pressure explosion-based processes producing diamonds provided large quantities similar material beginning 1950’s.1 Industrial was primarily limited cutting abrasive applications a few niche involving optical windows or heat spreaders.4 Unfortunately, quality diamond, either naturally occurring produced synthetically, still square millimeters. Thus, diamond has not wide acceptance fabrication owing availability reproducible large-area, inexpensive
