This study examined the heterojunction of atomic layer deposited alumina and (100) p-diamond using XPS and transmission electron microscopy. A new methodology was employed to measure the valence band offset between diamond and gamma-alumina, resulting in a value of 3.4 eV.
gamma-Alumina is a promising candidate for fabricating the gate of the diamond metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor based on oxygen termination due to its high bandgap of 6.7 eV and high static dielectric constant of 9. Besides these properties, having a sufficient barrier for holes is mandatory to avoid carriers leakage through the gate. However, the band offset of the diamond/alumina heterojunction can be affected by the alumina crystallinity and interface bonds, which depend on multiple factors such as deposition and annealing temperature or diamond surface treatment prior to deposition. In this work, the heterojunction of atomic layer deposited alumina and (1 0 0) p-diamond is studied using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Transmission electron microscopy studies reveal that the deposited alumina layer is 35 nm thick and present the gamma phase. The valence band offset between diamond and gamma-alumina is evaluated on a single sample with a new methodology based on an ion etching XPS depth profile. The obtained value for the valence band offset of diamond and gamma-alumina is 3.4 eV.
