Abstrakt: A new regime of electrochemical anodic oxidation with an atomic force microscope (AFM) is introduced for producing insulating layers on a hydrogenated diamond surface. In this new regime, when a low surface voltage (VS<+2 V) is applied to the sample, an insulating layer is created without any measurable change in the topography. Insulating layers created in this fashion are shown to preserve the high sub-surface conductance of hydrogenated diamond surfaces, contrary to the oxide layers accompanied by a topographic change, which destroy sub-surface conductance.
