Through the enhancement of hole accumulated density near hydrogen-terminated (111) diamond surfaces, low sheet resistance ($5 k/sq) has been obtained compared with widely used (001) diamond surfaces ($10 k/sq). Using the hole accumulation layer channel, a high drain current density of À850 mA/mm was obtained in p-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs). This drain current density is the highest value for diamond FETs. The high drain current on the (111) surface is attributed to two factors: The low source and drain resistances owing to the high hole carrier density and the high channel mobility at a high gate-source voltage on the (111) surface.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
