Cuba The dielectric properties of diamond thin films obtained on silicon substrates by microwave plasma-assisted chemical vapour deposition (MWCVD) have been measured in the frequency range from 0.1 to 103 kHz at different temperatures up to 150 °C. The experimental results have been discussed in terms of the many body theory for dielectric relaxation in solids. Dielectric parameters as well as the d.c. conductivity of the samples have been correlated with the morphology and diamond content in the films, respectively detected from scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Raman spectroscopy. The calculated activation energies for the dielectric relaxation mechanism agree with those obtained from other measurement techniques used in the electrical characterization of diamond films.
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.
