Density distribution analysis of near-interface traps in Al2O3/diamond MOS structure
Inversion-type p-channel diamond MOSFETs have been developed and normally-off characteristics have been realized. However, they still suffer from low channel mobility, despite water vapor annealing significantly reducing the interface state density at the Al2O3/diamond MOS interface. We have also observed notable frequency dispersion of capacitance under accumulation conditions, which is mainly attributed to near-interface traps (NITs). In this work, we focused on characterizing NITs in Al2O3/diamond structures at 300 K, 350 K, and 400 K, using a distributed circuit model. Various possible distributions for NITs were considered, including box-shaped, linearly-decaying, exponentially-decaying, and uniform distributions, to fit the capacitance–frequency (C–f) characteristics at these temperatures. Based on error comparisons from the fitting results, the uniform distribution exhibited the smallest fitting errors for C–f. The NIT density and other related parameters were extracted based on the best-fitting results, with possible physical origins discussed. This work lays the groundwork for further passivation of NITs, which is critical for improving device performance.
期刊介绍:
DRM is a leading international journal that publishes new fundamental and applied research on all forms of diamond, the integration of diamond with other advanced materials and development of technologies exploiting diamond. The synthesis, characterization and processing of single crystal diamond, polycrystalline films, nanodiamond powders and heterostructures with other advanced materials are encouraged topics for technical and review articles. In addition to diamond, the journal publishes manuscripts on the synthesis, characterization and application of other related materials including diamond-like carbons, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and boron and carbon nitrides. Articles are sought on the chemical functionalization of diamond and related materials as well as their use in electrochemistry, energy storage and conversion, chemical and biological sensing, imaging, thermal management, photonic and quantum applications, electron emission and electronic devices.
The International Conference on Diamond and Carbon Materials has evolved into the largest and most well attended forum in the field of diamond, providing a forum to showcase the latest results in the science and technology of diamond and other carbon materials such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, and diamond-like carbon. Run annually in association with Diamond and Related Materials the conference provides junior and established researchers the opportunity to exchange the latest results ranging from fundamental physical and chemical concepts to applied research focusing on the next generation carbon-based devices.
