... · Other materials -- In addition to the foregoing, the study includes a discussion of highpressure diamond to provide background for the low-pressure processes and to indicate technological opportunities for the more conventional approach to diamond manufacturing Also, a brief description of related materials involving boron, carbon, nitrogen, and silicon is given, with particular emphasis on SiC and BN. The ability to deposit diamond and ~iiamond-like films on a variety of substrates (including diamond-like materials on paper and plastics)

... An appreciation of the influence of additional elements in the diamond lattice on, for example, tribology could be of considerable industrial significance. Thus, the ability to produce films with predictable material properties to satisfy specific application requirements is currently lacking.

... Attaining successful electronic devices requires successful controlled doping of diamond both by CVD and by ion implantation. Recommendation Basic understanding should be developed, through theoretical studies, of doping and defect formation and their influence on the band structure.
