Zusammenfassung
Concerning diamond-based electronic devices, the H-terminated diamond surface is one ofthe most used terminations as it can be obtained directly by using H2 plasma, which also is a key stepfor diamond growth by chemical vapour deposition (CVD). The resultant surfaces present a p-typesurface conductive layer with interest in power electronic applications. However, the mechanismfor this behavior is still under discussion. Upward band bending due to surface transfer doping isthe most accepted model, but has not been experimentally probed as of yet. Recently, a downwardband bending very near the surface due to shallow acceptors has been proposed to coexist withsurface transfer doping, explaining most of the observed phenomena. In this work, a new approachto the measurement of band bending by angle-resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (ARXPS) isproposed. Based on this new interpretation, a downward band bending of 0.67 eV extended over0.5 nm was evidenced on a (100) H-terminated diamond surface.
