Abstract
An electrical device comprising a substrate of diamond material and elongate metal protrusions extending into respective recesses in the substrate. Doped semiconductor layers, arranged between respective protrusions and the substrate, behave as n type semiconducting material on application of an electric field, between the protrusions and the substrate, suitable to cause a regions of positive space charge within the semiconductor layers.
Claims24
An electrical device comprising:
- a substrate of diamond material;
- at least one elongate first electrically conductive portion extending into a respective recess in said substrate;
- and
- at least one doped semiconducting region, arranged between at least one respective said first electrically conductive portion and said substrate, and adapted to behave as an n type semiconducting material on application of an electric field, between said first electrically conductive portion and said substrate, suitable to cause a region of positive space charge within the semiconducting region,
- wherein at least one recess further comprises at least one inclined distal surface defining a point, wherein at least one doped semiconducting region is arranged on a respective inclined distal surface.
