The performance of diamond power devices depends on the crystalline quality of the drift layer and conduction layer. Because the layers of diamond power device are usually grown by chemical vapor deposition, critical factors determining crystalline quality during this process should be discussed. An important related issue is the reduction of the density of dislocations in the epitaxial layer: the density of dislocations increases during chemical vapor deposition. We show that by using an ultraflat substrate, while existing dislocations in the epitaxial layer remained, no new dislocations were formed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
