Abstract

Recent developments in the doping of diamond and in the technology of diamond film synthesis have stimulated interest in its use as a substrate material for electronic devices, as well as in a range of other new applications. Hydrogen is one of the most common impurities in natural and synthetic diamond, and is known to affect its electrical properties. However, the incorporation of hydrogen in diamond is still not well understood. In this paper we report a study of the trapping of hydrogen introduced into a type Ia natural diamond by ion implantation. The hydrogen depth distribution was measured by means of nuclear resonant reaction analysis (NRRA) after each stage of an annealing program. Deep trapping of implanted hydrogen within its own range distribution was observed, in contrast to the case in silicon.
