Abstract

Diamond Metal-Insulator-Semiconchictor (MIS) devices hold great potential for applications requiring long storage times and superlative mechanical, electrical, and chemical properties. In particular, diamond is the ideal material for constructing imaging devices for Vacuum Ultraviolet, X-ray, and energetic particle fluxes. Results with metal-semiconductor-metal [1] devices and diodes [11] demonstrate that diamond has favorable spectral response characteristics for a variety of detector applications. Diamond’s lack of native oxide is particularly helpful for ultraviolet imagers since native oxides tend to have uncontrolled properties and strong absorption in the far UV. [2][18][9][7][19].
