Abstract

Cryogenic operation of the diamond surface-channel field-effect transistors (FETs) is investigated. Metal-insulator-semiconductor FETs (MISFETs) are fabricated using CaF2 as a gate insulator. MISFETs operate successfully even at 4.4 K. At low temperature, field-effect enhances the drain current, even if the surface holes become almost frozen-out. Channel mobility increases as temperature decreases to 4.4 K, which indicates the reduced phonon scattering.
