This letter reports the successful demonstration of large-current and high-voltage (001) vertical-type two-dimensional hole gas (2DHG) diamond trench metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) with a p <sup xmlns:mml=“http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML” xmlns:xlink=“http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink”&gt;−&lt;/sup> -drift layer. The fabricated transistor demonstrated a maximum drain current density of 210 mA/mm, a field-effect-mobility of 61 cm <sup xmlns:mml=“http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML” xmlns:xlink=“http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink”&gt;2&lt;/sup> V <sup xmlns:mml=“http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML” xmlns:xlink=“http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink”&gt;−1&lt;/sup> s <sup xmlns:mml=“http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML” xmlns:xlink=“http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink”&gt;−1&lt;/sup> , and a specific on-resistance of 23 <inline-formula xmlns:mml=“http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML” xmlns:xlink=“http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink”> <tex-math notation=“LaTeX”>$\text{m}\Omega $ </tex-math></inline-formula> cm <sup xmlns:mml=“http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML” xmlns:xlink=“http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink”&gt;2&lt;/sup> . Moreover, a high breakdown voltage of 580 V with a gate-drain length of 10 <inline-formula xmlns:mml=“http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML” xmlns:xlink=“http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink”> <tex-math notation=“LaTeX”>$\mu \text{m}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> was obtained, which is the highest value reported for a vertical-type diamond MOSFET to date. These characteristics indicate that a vertical-type diamond MOSFET using a p <sup xmlns:mml=“http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML” xmlns:xlink=“http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink”&gt;−&lt;/sup> -drift layer may be used to realize a p-channel power device with a high breakdown voltage and low on-resistance.
