“…Nb 2 O 5 has a high relative dielectric constant in the range of 29-200 based on its quality and various phases. The characteristics of thermally grown Nb 2 O 5 as a gate dielectric for MOS diodes are already reported [39]. This work explores the gate leakage current, direct-current (DC), and radio-frequency (RF) characteristics of thermally grown Nb 2 O 5 -based MOS-HEMTs.…”

“…The sample is then annealed rapid thermal annealing (RTA) at 850 °C for 30 s in N 2 ambience [40]. The oxide is formed in a selective area using electron beam lithography (EBL), and a thin film of Nb (4 nm) metal is deposited by sputtering followed by thermal oxidation at an optimized temperature of 500 °C in O 2 (1000 sccm) ambient for 20 min [39]. The Ni/Au 30/100 nm stack is deposited in an electron-beam evaporator under a high vacuum for Schottky contact on the patterned Nb-oxide.…”

This work demonstrates the improvement in DC and RF characteristics and a reduction in the gate leakage current for thermally grown Nb2O5 as a gate dielectric in AlGaN/GaN metal–oxide–semiconductor high electron-mobility transistors (MOS-HEMTs). The MOS-HEMTs with an amorphous 10 nm thick Nb2O5 as the gate dielectric show a reduced gate leakage current of 10-9 A/mm. Nb2O5 thin film creates a tensile strain in the AlGaN layer, enhancing the density of two-dimension electron gas (2-DEG). The performance of the device also improves in terms of saturation drain current, peak transconductance, subthreshold swing, and unity current gain frequency. An increase in the source-to-drain ON/OFF current ratio to 108 and a significant reduction in the subthreshold leakage current by at least two orders of magnitude are measured compared to the control HEMTs.

An increase in the device performance of diamond‐based p‐type metal–oxide–semiconductor (pMOS) transistors using a combination of p‐type nickel oxide and n‐type indium tin oxide (NiOX/ITO) reverse bias diode as the gate dielectric is reported. Negative threshold voltage pMOS transistors are desirable for digital circuits and power applications for fail‐safe operation. A Schottky gate‐based conventional diamond pMOS transistor suffers from many limitations, including a positive threshold voltage (VT). Herein, it is experimentally demonstrated that NiOX/ITO gate dielectric with Al gate contact circumvents many critical limitations, providing a negative threshold voltage of −1.2 V, improved subthreshold slope of 145 mV dec−1, current ON/OFF ratio >107, and peak gate leakage current reduction >103. An Al/NiOX‐based control gate structure shifts the VTH negative with improvements in crucial device performances. Adding a reverse bias junction through the Al/ITO/NiOX heterointerface with the Al metal gate further improves performance. The measured device characteristics are explained in a common framework of energy band diagram for all the devices.
