Etching of hot‐filament, chemical vapor deposited, diamond thin films utilizing low energy ion irradiation was investigated. The films used in this study were boron doped polycrystalline diamond, deposited on p‐type (100) oriented silicon substrates. A low voltage dc corona discharge with an oxygen plasma was used to sputter etch the films. Surfaces were investigated by scanning electron microscopy and profilometry. Etch rates were approximately 500 A/min, depending on the various processing conditions. Characteristics of In/diamond/Si Schottky diodes were used to evaluate the electrical properties of diamond surfaces with various treatments. Results indicate that plasma etching can significantly affect Schottky device characteristics.
