Laser Recrystallized SOM for Strain Gauge Applications
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 February 2011
Abstract
A novel material SOM (Silicon on Metal) was obtained by laser recrystallization. 0.5miti amorphous-Si film was deposited by glow discharge on a metal substrate covered with lym CVD Si02 Boron ions were implanted in a-Si at an energy of 60KeV and a dose of 5xl015cm-2. A CW argon laser was used to recrystal-lize a-Si film. After CW argon laser irradiation, a-Si was recrystallized and the grain size was increased to 10x40ym, the concentration profile of impurities became uniform and the electrical properties of SOM were improved significantly, sheet resistance lower than 60Ω/⃞n was obtained. The gauge factor of recrystallized SOM materials measured by a cantilever transducer was higher than 30. The devices made of this material have pressure sensitivity of 6mV/V for pressure range 1 bar.
