摘要
Diamond surface-channel field-effect transistor utilizes two-dimensional hole gas (2DHG) on the hydrogen-terminated diamond surface as the channel to realize the control on output current by input voltage, and it is the mainstream structure of diamond electronic devices. The 2DHG conductivity has a large range of controllable sheet density and a high saturation drift velocity. This paper reviewed the research progress of diamond field-effect transistors in DC, frequency, and power characteristics, and revealed that low mobility is the main limiting factor for the development of diamond-based low-power high-speed digital circuits, high-frequency devices, and high-power microwave devices. It summarized the theoretical and experimental research of a new doping mechanism similar to modulation doping that emerged for the diamond surface conductivity recently. At room temperature the 2DHG Hall mobility has increased to 680 cm2/Vs, and the relevant square resistance has decreased from about 10 kΩ/sq to 1.4 kΩ/sq, which is expected to cause a great improvement in the performance of diamond field-effect transistors. © 2024 Chinese Institute of Electronics.
