Schottky diodes were fabricated using gold and aluminum contacts to thin diamond films obtained by a microwave plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition process. The current‐voltage and capacitance‐voltage‐frequency characteristics of these devices are similar to those fabricated on a crystalline diamond base formed by traditional ultrahigh pressure process.
