Performance of a diamond x-ray sensor fabricated with metal-less graphitic contacts

چکیده
We report the x-ray photocurrent response of a coplanar chemical vapor deposition diamond detector fabricated using a metal-less graphitic ohmic contact. Ion implantation of 70 keV boron ions to a dose of 2 1016 cm−2 was performed through a patterned photoresist to produce a coplanar graphitic contact structure. The device photocurrent showed a fast response to pulsed x-ray irradiation, and showed no evidence of photocurrent persistence that is observed in devices fabricated using metal Schottky contacts. The graphite-contact device also showed no extrinsic photoconductivity when illuminated with white light. © 2005 American Institute of Physics. DOI: 10.1063/1.2035885

متن کاملOrientation of graphitic planes during the bias-enhanced nucleation of diamond on silicon: An x-ray absorption near-edge study
The bias-enhanced nucleation of diamond on Si~100! is studied by angle-dependent x-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy ~XANES!. During diamond nucleation, a graphitic phase is also detected. The angle dependence of the XANES signal shows that the graphitic basal planes are oriented perpendicular to the surface. Implications of this result on the mechanism of bias-enhanced nucleation are discu...
متن کاملResponsivity Study of Diamond X-ray Monitors with Contact
Nitrogen doped ultrananocrystalline diamond (nUNCD) grown on the surface of a CVD single crystal diamond is tested at various beamlines covering an x-ray photon energy range of 200eV to 28 keV. The nUNCD has much lower x-ray absorption than metal contacts and is designed to improve the performance of our device. The responsivity of nUNCD diamond x-ray detector is compared with the conventional ...
