An enhancement-mode hydrogen-terminated diamond field-effect transistor (FET) is realized by using a low work function gate material, namely, lanthanum hexaboride (LaB <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">6</sub> ). The reason for the enhancement mode should be that electrons in LaB layer flow into two-dimensional hole gas (2DHG) channel and compensate holes, such shut down. threshold voltages (V...
