A normally-off hydrogenated-diamond (H-diamond) field effect transistor (FET) using a HfO2 gate oxide is demonstrated. The HfO2 gate oxide has a bilayer structure which is fabricated by a sputter-deposition (SD) technique on a thin buffer layer prepared by an atomic layer deposition (ALD) technique. The role of the ALD-HfO2 is found to prevent deterioration of the H-diamond surface by the SD process. The leakage current density of the SD-HfO2/ALD-HfO2/H-diamond structure is smaller than 1.1 x 10(-4) A cm(-2) at gate voltages from -9.0 to 2.0 V. The capacitance-voltage characteristic shows that fixed and trapped charge densities are low enough to operate the FET. The HfO2-gated FET has p-type channel and complete normally-off characteristics. The drain-source current maximum, threshold voltage, extrinsic transconductance maximum, and effective mobility of the FET with gate length of 4 mu m are -37.6 mA mm(-1), -1.3 +/- 0.1 V, 11.2 +/- 0.1 mS mm(-1), and 38.7 +/- 0.5 cm(2) V-1 s(-1), respectively.
