Abstract

A diamond semiconductor device having at least one MESFET integrated on a single diamond substrate and insulated from other semiconductor elements is made by preparing a homoepitaxial diamond film 1 having a hydrogen-terminated surface; then making a drain ohmic contact 3, a source ohmic contact 4, both of gold, and a gate electrode 5 of aluminum on the film 1; and changing a site of the hydrogen-terminated surface other than the site for the MESFET to be terminated with atoms other than hydrogen atoms.
