Abstract
The prospects of two classes of diamond devices are reviewed, namely electronic devices on single-crystal substrates and microsystems devices on Si substrate. The transistor structures on single-crystal diamond represent still proof-of-concept experiments; however, they already allow us to extract their potential. The microsystems actuator and sensor devices already reflect the materials properties in their characteristics. Two of the most complex structures and future trends are discussed.
