Diamond has attracted attention as the ultimate semiconductor material due to its excellent insulating properties and high thermal conductivity, as well as its ability to exhibit semiconductor characteristics when doped with impurities. However, nitrogen-doped diamond (NDD), which exhibits n-type conductivity, has been considered difficult to synthesize because of the low efficiency of nitrogen doping and its tendency to alter the crystal structure. In this study, we investigated the effect of substrate conditions on nitrogen doping by varying the underlying layer during NDD synthesis using plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (CVD).
