Abstract
An ultraviolet-sensitive photodetector based on the metal-semiconductor-metal structure has been fabricated on a chemical-vapor-deposited diamondthin filmgrown on a silicon substrate. Device processing techniques employed include maskless laser writing lithography, image reversal processing and sacrificial layer inclusion, which resulted in devices with an electrode finger separation of only 2.5 μm. This allows for a low operating voltage of only 5 V, which is very much lower than what has been achieved so far.Keywords
