The possibility of decreasing the resistivity of ohmic contact to p- and n-type diamond epitaxial layers by using heavily boron- and phosphorus-alloyed layers, variation of different materials for metallization and annealing of contacts has been investigated. Two types of ohmic contacts have been studied: Ti/Mo/Au and Ti/Pt/Au. The use of platinum as a diffusion barrier in a three-layer system made it possible to reduce the specific contact resistance to p-type diamond by an order of magnitude compared to molybdenum to 2.7·10-6 Ohm · cm2, which maintains stability during high-temperature annealing. A specific resistance of ohmic contacts to n-type diamond of 0.02 Ohm · cm2 has been achieved. The current-voltage characteristic of the resulting contacts is linear. Keywords: epitaxial layers of diamond, boron, phosphorus, ohmic contacts.
