The State-of-the-Art of Diamond Material for Semiconductors
The semiconductor industry is an important driving force for technological innovation in today's world,and it is also an important indicator of the competitiveness of various countries.As the core of the semiconductor industry,the performance of semiconductor materials directly determines the technological level of the semiconductor industry.Diamond is known as the ultimate semiconductor material due to its superior properties,and it is expected to be used in next-generation power electronic devices.However,after nearly half a century of development,the diamond semiconductor device has not been realized,due to obstacles in the growth and processing of high-quality diamond materials,as well as difficulties in device design using diamond.This paper mainly focuses on the properties,potential applications,prominent research progress,and current bottleneck issues of diamond semiconductors in terms of materials and devices.It is gratifying that in recent years,diamond semiconductor technology has grown rapidly,and the ultimate diamond semiconductor is worth looking forward to emerging in the near future!
