Diamond for Electronic Applications: Symposium Held November 27-December 1, 1995, Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.A (Materials Research Society Symposium Proceedings)

Thermal management, sensors, active electronics, and electron sources for cold cathodes or vacuum microelectronics are some of the potential applications in electronics that properties of diamond suggest. The 67 papers begin by reporting on the latest science and technology of growing electronic-grade diamond and the electrical and thermal characterization of the resulting diamond films. Approaches to applications described include modelling a diamond film heatsink for GaAs lasers, the nanoscale modification of amorphous diamond-like carbon film surfaces, and electrochemical studies of boron-doped diamond electrodes.
