Spatially resolved photoconductance of oxygen barriers on hydrogenated single crystalline diamond — •Max Seifert, Markus Stallhofer, Moritz Hauf, Gerhard Abstreiter, José A. Garrido, and Alexander W.

Undoped single crystalline hydrogen-terminated diamond exhibits a p-type surface conductivity. This surface conductivity originates from a two dimensional hole gas formed due to a band bending beneath the surface. An oxygen-terminated diamond surface, however, shows no surface conductivity and therefore, thin lines with oxygen-termination can be used to form tunneling barriers within the two dimensional hole gas. We create such barriers with a lithographic width down to 50 nm by electron-beam lithography. In spatially resolved photocurrent measurements, we demonstrate that the devices can be exploited for photodetector applications at room temperature.
