▼ [23a-A202-2] Alternative Carbon-based Ohmic Electrodes for Phosphorus-doped Diamond-electronics Applications
キーワード:Ohmic contacts, Phosphorus doped diamond
In this study, We report highly adhesive, thermally stable, and chemically inert nanocarbon-based ohmic electrodes exhibiting high carrier collection efficiency than Ti ohmic electrodes for phosphorus-doped diamond. The nanocarbon electrodes were fabricated through coaxial arc plasma deposition. The room temperature specific contact resistance obtained through circular transmission line model (cTLM) theory based on inter-electrode differential resistance has shown significant reduction for nanocarbon electrodes (ρc= 1×10-3 Ωcm2) when compared with Ti electrodes (ρc= 1×10-2 Ωcm2) at an intermediate voltage range (5V-10V). The detailed study using the constant current inter-electrode resistance extraction approach in cTLM theory has shown reduced interfacial potential drop for nanocarbon electrodes. The nanocarbon electrodes were found to be electrically active after 500 minutes of H2SO4+HNO3 (3:1) treatment at 250oC. The performance consistency of nanocarbon electrodes without capping metallization can facilitate the fabrication procedure. In the aspect of device fabrication, Ni/n-type Schottky diode exhibits a large rectification ratio as well as fast charge collection achieved at lower biasing voltage with nanocarbon electrodes as shown below. This actively suggests the nanocarbon electrodes for lightly phosphorus-doped diamond-based electronics.
