摘要：
This paper reports for the first time the experimentally evaluated piezoresistive properties of boron-doped poly-SiGe for different doping doses (from 2.10(13) cm(-2) to 4.10(15) cm(-2)) and germanium content (49% and 64%). The resistivity and temperature coefficient of resistance are also studied. Results show that with proper tuning of the boron and germanium content, a gauge factor over 20 and a TCR as low as 0 are achievable. Finally, finite-element simulations of a possible application to a pressure sensor lead to sensitivities above 40 mV/V/bar, highlighting the potential of this material for MEMS piezoresistive sensor applications.
