Abstract:
A method for treating a surface of a diamond thin film according to one aspect of the present invention performs one of a first substitution process for substituting part of hydrogen-terminals of a diamond thin film with fluorine-terminals in the absence of a fluorocarbon deposition on the surface of diamond thin film and a second substitution process for substituting part of hydrogen-terminals of a diamond thin film with fluorine-terminals in the presence of the fluorocarbon deposition on the surface of diamond thin film based on required surface properties of the diamond thin film.

Abstract:
Provided are a diamond field effect transistor using a silicon oxide film as a gate insulating film including a silicon-terminated layer containing C—Si bonds in order to reduce an interface state density, and a method for producing the same. A FET 100A includes a silicon oxide film 3A formed on a surface of a non-doped diamond layer 2A, a non-doped diamond layer 4A formed on a surface of the non-doped diamond layer 2A using the silicon oxide film 3A as a mask, a silicon-terminated layer 5A formed at an interface between the non-doped diamond layer 2A and the silicon oxide film 3A and at an interface between the non-doped diamond layer 4A and the silicon oxide film 3A, and a gate electrode 12A formed on the silicon oxide film 3A. The FET 100A operates using the silicon oxide film 3A and an insulating film 10A formed on the silicon oxide film 3A as a gate insulating film 11A and using the non-doped diamond layer 4A as each of a source region and a drain region.
