RT journal article T1 Transport mechanism in O-terminated diamond/ZrO2 based MOSCAPs A1 Soto Portillo, Beatriz A1 Cañas, J. A1 Villar Castro, María del Pilar A1 Araújo Gay, Daniel A1 Pernot, Julien A2 Ciencia de los Materiales e Ingeniería Metalúrgica y Química Inorgánica K1 Diamond K1 Oxygen termination K1 Zirconia K1 Capacitors AB Metal Oxide Semiconductor capacitors were fabricated using p-type O-terminated (001) diamond and zirconiumdioxide deposited by atomic layer deposition at low temperature (100 ◦C). X-ray diffraction and transmissionelectron microscopy evidence monoclinic structure and polycrystalline nature of the oxide layer. I-V, C–V andC–F experiments have been performed in a large frequency range, i.e. from 1 Hz to 1 MHz, in order to analysethe electrical properties of the metal/dielectric/diamond stack. The presence of charges in the oxide andinterface states induces a flat-band voltage shift in the C–V curve and a strong Fermi level pinning effect. Aleakage current mechanism considering the correlation of the microstructural characterization and the electricalresponse is proposed.
