摘要
Electrical and piezoresistive properties of chemical vapor-deposited boron-doped p-type polycrystalline diamond films were investigated. The p-type polycrystalline diamond films of about 2 mu m thickness were grown on a flat insulating polycrystalline diamond substrate using a conventional microwave plasma CVD system. The optimized p-type polycrystalline CVD film exhibited similar quality to homoepitaxial single crystalline diamond film with activation energy of 0.31-0.33 eV and small effects of grain boundaries. Piezoresistors (500 mu m long and 50 mu m wide) constituted from the optimized p-type polycrystalline diamond films were fabricated on diaphragm structure using photolithography and reactive-ion etching in an oxygen plasma. Relative change of the electrical resistance (Delta R/R-0) of the p-type diamond piezoresistor was almost proportional to the applied strain. Gauge factor K for the p-type diamond piezoresistor was derived to be similar to 1000 at room temperature and > 700 even at 200 degrees C. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science S.A.
