X-ray absorption (XAS) and emission (XES) spectroscopy near B-K and C-K edges have been performed on metallic (~1at%B, B-diamond) and semiconducting (~0.1at%B and N, BN-diamond) doped-diamond films. Both B-K XAS and XES spectra shows metallic partial density of state (PDOS) with the Fermi energy of 185.3 eV, and there is no apparent boron-concentration dependence in contrast to the different electric property. In C-K XAS spectrum of B-diamond, the impurity state ascribed to boron is clearly observed near the Fermi level. The Fermi energy is found to be almost same with the top of the valence band of non-doped diamond, E_V, 283.9 eV. C-K XAS of BN-diamond shows both the B-induced shallow level and N-induced deep-and-broad levels as the in-gap states, in which the shallow level is in good agreement with the activation energy (E_a=0.37 eV) estimated from the temperature dependence of the conductivity, namely the change in C-2p PDOS of impurity-induced metallization is directly observed. The electric property of this diamond is mainly ascribed to the electronic structure of C-2p near the Fermi level. The observed XES spectra are compared with the DVX-alpha cluster calculation. The DVX-alpha result supports the strong hybridization between B-2p and C-2p observed in XAS and XES spectra, and suggests that the small amount of borons (<1at%) in diamond occupy the substitutional site rather than interstitial site.
