P. Jeanjean et al., ELECTRICAL AND PIEZORESISTIVE PROPERTIES OF BORON-IMPLANTED ZMR-SOI FILMS, Sensors and actuators. A, Physical, 36(3), 1993, pp. 241-245
We have investigated the electrical properties of polycrystalline depo
sited zone-melt-recrystallized (ZMR) and boron-implanted silicon films
between 4 and 400 K and their piezoresistivity at room temperature. T
he films exhibit both high mobility ( 1 50 cm2/V s) and gauge factor (
95) in comparison with thermally annealed films. We conclude that ZMR
silicon would provide substrates with improved electrical and mechanic
al sensing properties for monolithic sensors in thin-film silicon-on-i
nsulator (SOI) technology.
