A high frequency hydrogen-terminated diamond metal-insulator-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MISFET) with extremely small source-drain distance of about 350 nm was realized by self-aligned process on (001)-oriented single crystal diamond substrate. To suppress the gate leakage current, a low temperature Al <sub xmlns:mml=“http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML” xmlns:xlink=“http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink”&gt;2&lt;/sub> O <sub xmlns:mml=“http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML” xmlns:xlink=“http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink”&gt;3&lt;/sub> film was deposited as the gate insulator by inductance coupled plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition. A low ohmic contact resistance of 1.84 Q·mm was measured by using transmission line method. The fabricated 100 nm gate length MISFET shows a high current density of 585 mA/mm and a high transconductance of 206 mS/mm. By minimizing the parasitic parameters of the device, a high current gain cut-off frequency f <sub xmlns:mml=“http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML” xmlns:xlink=“http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink”&gt;T&lt;/sub> of 70 GHz and maximum frequency of oscillation f <sub xmlns:mml=“http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML” xmlns:xlink=“http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink”&gt;max&lt;/sub> of 80 GHz have been realized.
