Abstract

A schottky diode manufacturing process employing diamond film comprises forming a B-doped p-type polycrystalline diamond film on a low-resistance p-type Si substrate by CVD using a source gas consisting of CH.sub.4, H.sub.2 and B.sub.2 H.sub.6, forming an ohmic contact on the back of the p-type Si substrate, and forming a metal electrode of Al, Pt Au, Ti or W on the B-doped p-type polycrystalline diamond film. The B/C concentration ratio of the source gas is greater than 0.01 ppm and less than 20 ppm.
