The Patent on The New CHIP: patents.ibm.com Inventor(s): Popovici; Galina , Columbia, MO Prelas; Mark A. , Columbia, MO Sung; T. , Columbia, MO Khasawinah; S. , Columbia, MO Priority Number(s): US1994000313641 Abstract: A method of making a semiconductor material using a modified forced diffusion method includes the steps of placing the semiconductor material on a substrate in a vacuum vessel, locating an impurity atop the semiconductor material, creating a high voltage potential across the semiconductor material, heating the semiconductor material and bombarding the semiconductor material with photons under the effects of the high voltage and heat previously created. The process is particularly applicable to creating N-type diamond semiconductor material.

Why don't you invite Prelas to join this thread? I'm sure that NUKE would put up whatever money that SI is charging lately. My general comments are that you are just validating my point, that you don't know what you are talking about. It is clear from the list of citations, that Prelas does. Did you have him look at my posts? Am I wrong in any of the technical details? I don't see anything specifically pertaining to high-temperature contacts. I do see some work on Schottky diodes, but that has nothing to do with high-temperature ohmic contacts. It is also clear that the PV aspect of diamond and other high-bandgap materials has nothing to do with solar insolation (which I mentioned previously). It seems to have to do with the nuclide power source, which, I have not seen a clear explanation of, so I can't really say whether it seems to feasible. As for the fuel-cell applications, I don't know enough about the details of this technology to have an opinion one way or the other. You might post something on the Ballard thread, since there are people there that do understand all the flavors of this technology.
