摘要
The deposition of diamond films on silicon substrate by MWPECVD is described and microstructural characteristics of the obtained films are reported. The resistive and piezoresistive properties of the diamond-on-silicon films have been measured beyond 200 degreesC by means of a purposely developed apparatus, and experimental results are reported. The piezoresistive properties at high temperature are exploited in the development of a micromachined pressure sensor capable of operating at up to 350-380 degreesC. A dedicated signal-conditioning electronic circuit is being designed and its functioning principle is here described.
