These heterodiamondoids are diamondoids that include heteroatoms in the
diamond lattice structure. The heteroatoms may be either electron
donating, such that an n-type heterodiamondoid is created, or electron
withdrawing, such that a p-type heterodiamondoid is made. Bulk materials
may be fabricated from these heterodiamondoids, and the techniques
involved include chemical vapor deposition, polymerization, and crystal
aggregation. Junctions may be made from the p-type and n-type
heterodiamondoid based materials, and microelectronic devices may be made
that utilize these junctions. The devices include diodes, bipolar
junction transistors, and field effect transistors.
