Diamond-based transistors in high-power electronics

"transistor remains switched off by default... diamond has wide band gap, capable of handling much higher voltages than silicon... previous switches good staying off/ not so good providing current on demand, or vice-versa... coating diamond surface in hydrogen atoms followed by layers of aluminum oxide... requires 6V to switch on, 2X performance... low diamond production cost... power grid, EVs... future: scalability"
