Popis: Novel alternatives to the conventional single crystal diamond Schottky metal-intrinsic-p + (m-i-p + ) diode is presented in this work. The conduction mechanism of the device is analysed and structural modifications to enhance its performance are proposed. The periodic inclusion of highly p + doped thin δ-layers and p + spots in the intrinsic voltage blocking layer of the diode drastically improves the forward performance of these devices enhancing the forward current of the device by a factor of 10 - 17 with a maximum forward current density of 40 A/cm 2 for a 2 kV device.
