Abstract
In this work, we present a study about the homoepitaxial growth of phosphorus‐doped diamond on (100) substrates. The growth was performed by microwave plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD) adding an organic precursor for phosphorus (tertiarybutylphosphine: TBP) in the gaseous phase. We show that phosphorus is incorporated in (100) chemical vapor deposition (CVD) diamond as proved by secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). The recombination of excitons bound to phosphorus donors is observed by cathodoluminescence (CL) spectroscopy. The influence of the growth parameters on the phosphorus donor activity is investigated. We show that the [C*]/[H~2~] ratio is a key parameter for controlling the P‐donor activity when diamond is grown on (100) surfaces.
