Abstract

First and second synthetic diamond regions are doped with boron. The second synthetic diamond region is doped with boron to a greater degree than the first synthetic diamond region, and in physical contact with the first synthetic diamond region. In a further example embodiment, the first and second synthetic diamond regions form a diamond semiconductor, such as a Schottky diode when attached to at least one metallic lead.
