Abstract This work investigates the suppression and compensation effect of oxygen on the behaviors and characteristics of heavily boron-doped microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD) diamond films. The suppression effect of oxygen on boron incorporation is observed by an improvement in crystal quality when oxygen is added during the diamond doping process. A relatively low hole concentration is expected and verified by Hall effect measurements due to the compensation effect of oxygen as a deep donor in diamond. A low acceptor concentration, high compensation donor concentration and relatively larger acceptor ionization energy are then induced by the incorporation of oxygen; however, a heavily boron-doped diamond film with high crystal quality can also be expected. The formation of an oxygen-boron complex structure instead of oxygen substitution, as indicated by the results of x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, is suggested to be more responsible for the observed enhanced compensation effect due to its predicted low formation energy. Meanwhile, density functional theory calculations show that the boron-oxygen complex structure is easily formed in diamond with a formation energy of -0.83 eV. This work provides a comprehensive understanding of oxygen compensation in heavily boron-doped diamond.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
