I've read that diamond doped with boron can serve as an N junction
semiconductor. P junction diamond has not been discovered. Why not use
a silicon P junction sandwitched between two N doped diamond
substrates?

    ... This makes sense for two identical materials, but if for example, an n-type semiconductor with a wide forbidden band gap and a metal somehow had the same work functions and were joined, I appreciate that there would be no built-in potential barrier, but wouldn't a Schottky barrier be formed due to the position of the conduction band edge over the common Fermi level? ... In principle, these junctions should behave like normal Schottky diodes, turning on with a voltage that pushes the semiconductor majority carriers toward the junction. ...
