Abstract
The electron emission from CVD-grown phosphorus (P-) and boron (B)-doped polycrystalline diamond films has been studied. The current density against electric field characteristics of the P-doped film showed low-field emission compared to the B-doped film. From the slope ratio of the Fowler-Nordheim (F-N) characteristics of P- and B-doped films, a ratio of 0.66 for the emission barrier height was obtained. The small ratio might be caused by the n-type semiconducting properties of P-doped diamond films
