Boron delta-doped diamond structures have been synthesized using microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition and fabricated into FET and gated Hall bar devices for assessment of the electrical characteristics. A detailed study of variable temperature Hall, conductivity, and field-effect mobility measurements was completed. This was supported by Schrodinger-Poisson and relaxation time calculations based upon application of Fermi's golden rule. A two carrier-type model was developed with an activation energy of similar to 0.2 eV between the delta layer lowest subband with mobility similar to 1 cm(2)/Vs and the bulk valence band with high mobility. This new understanding of the transport of holes in such boron delta-doped structures has shown that although Hall mobility as high as 900 cm(2)/Vs was measured at room temperature, this dramatically overstates the actual useful performance of the device.
