We have investigated evolution of electronic structure across semiconductor to metal transition of boron(B)-doped diamond and its related compounds by using photoemission spectroscopy. Soft x-ray angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy has revealed valence band electronic dispersions of heavily B-doped superconductive diamond. Core level photoemission spectroscopy has showed multiple chemical sites of dopant atoms for heavily B- and phosphorous-doped diamond. For new superconductors, CaC_6 and potassium doped picene, evolution of electronic structure near the Fermi level due to intercalation and doping, respectively, have been observed directly, which provide insight into the mechanism of the superconductivity.
