Color centers in diamond, especially NV-centers, are practical single photon emitters due to RT operation and are candidates for applications in quantum computing. NV-centers close to the surface allow electrical addressing and can be used for magnetic sensors. Here we present a setup for low energy implantation of NV centers near to the surface using UHV-conditions. We survey the influence of UHV-implantation and -annealing compared to the usual HV-heating. The usual etching processes with boiling tri-acid to remove graphitic components after the annealing process is unnecessary. In general, the all-UHV-process leads to a cleaner diamond surface and decreases the background intensity in optical characterizations of the samples.
