  • Method of a diamond surface and corresponding diamond surface
    Patent number: 6841249
    Abstract: The invention relates to a treatment method of a diamond surface and to a corresponding diamond surface (5A). According to the method, ions are produced, each having at least three positive charges, and a beam of these ions is sent towards a diamond surface in order to make at least one zone of the surface conductive under the effect of said ions. Advantageously, conductive islands (6) are formed with a diameter smaller than 150 nm, then used preferably as one electron tank (diameter smaller than 10 nm) or as replenishment reservoirs for cold cathodes. Application to micro-electronics and to the production of cold cathodes.
