Both techniques are shown to be complementary. μ-FTIR mapping allows to determine the location of active boron while CL allows discernability between passivation and compensation. Hydrogen incorporation during chemical vapour deposition (CVD) growth is revealed to passivate boron acceptors. The obtained results highlight that plasma etching can induce a dissociation of B–H centres.}, keywords = {Diamond}, keywords = {Boron doping}, keywords = {CL}, keywords = {FTIR}, title = {Hydrogen passivation of boron acceptors in as-grown boron-doped CVD diamond epilayers}, doi = {10.1016/j.diamond.2010.02.030}, author = {Fernández Lorenzo, Concepción and Araújo Gay, Daniel and Martín, J. and Alcántara, J and Navas, J. and Villar, Maria del Pilar and Alegre Salguero, María de la Paz and Volpe, Pierre Nicola and Omnés, Franck and Bustarret, Etienne}, }
