Ion Shower Doping Effect in Diamond and Diamond-Like Carbon Films

we have studied the possibility of n-type doping in diamond and DLC films. After ion doping of either p-type or n-type, the electrical conductivities were remarkably increased and conductivity activation energies were decreased. The Raman intensity at 1330 cm-1 decreases slightly by ion doping of $7.2\times 10^{16}\; \textrm{cm}^{-2}$. The increase in conductivity by ion doping appears to be arised from the combined effects by substitutional doping and graphitization by ion damage.
