A Threshold Voltage Simulation of Hydrogen-Terminated Diamond MESFETs

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, the threshold voltage of diamond film-based metal-semiconductor field effect transistors (MESFETs) has been simulated using Silvaco TCAD tools. The drain current (Id) versus gate voltage (Vg) relationship, and the distribution of acceptors in diamond surface conduction layer were also investigated. From the simulation results, it was found that the gate length contributed the most to the threshold voltage, while the doping depth almost had no impact on the threshold voltage value.
