Enhancing secondary yield of a diamond amplifier using a nitrogen layer

2015 
A thin nitrogen-doped layer less than 4% of the total thickness in diamond thin film amplifier is shown to reduce losses of generated secondaries to the back contact, generated by a high energy primary electron beam compared to a thin film without the substitutional nitrogen layer modification. Simulation indicates that the losses due to absorption of diffusing electrons by the back contact may be considerably reduced by a factor of 2 (depending on field across the film, width of the nitrogen layer, and boron doping level), thereby mitigating undesirable effects associated with trace amounts of boron.
