Nope, UNCD B doped diamond is a little better (and N doped is better than B doped), but the conductivity just isn't there with diamond for VLSI. Need to find different, better dopants. Still have issues with gate leakage current leading to high temps. The new tech needed is a better oxide insulating layer.
