Abstract
A junction suitable for incorporation in diamond electronic devices, such as field effect transistors, U-V photodetectors, capacitors, charge-coupled devices, etc., comprising a double layer structure deposited on the semiconducting diamond film of the electronic device, wherein the double layer structure consists of a layer of intrinsic diamond and a layer of a carrier blocking material. The carrier blocking materials is characterized by a band structure discontinuous with that of diamond resulting in the formation of a depletion layer at the interface. A contact is then formed on this double layer structure.
