Official Description

Hydrogen-terminated (surface-channel) diamond transistors hold great promise for next-generation, high-frequency, high-power RF electronics and advanced communications due to diamond's high breakdown field and superior thermal conductivity. However, wide-scale operational deployment is constrained by "current collapse" and "knee walkout" - phenomena where transient charges trapped at defect sites in the semiconductor prevent the transistor from operating at its full, high-frequency RF power.
