摘要
In this letter we report the first diamond fin field-effect transistor (diamond FinFET) without a hydrogen-terminated channel. The device operates with hole accumulation by metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) structures built on fins to maintain effective control of the channel conduction. Devices with 100-nm-wide fins were designed and fabricated to ensure that the channel pinched off at zero gate bias. The transfer characteristic of FinFET showed a greater than 3000 on/off ratio, successfully demonstrating the transistor behavior. Devices were characterized at room temperature and at 150 degrees C, showing 30 mA/mm current density at 150 degrees C, 35 times more than current density at room temperature. The diamond FinFET, which leverages the fin concept from the silicon industry and the material advance of diamond, enables a new class of diamond transistors for applications from digital to power and radio frequency (RF) electronics.
