Abstract

Ohmic contact of nickel on hydrogen-terminated single-crystal diamond film was investigated with an annealing temperature ranging from room temperature to 750 °C in hydrogen atmosphere. Nickel film was deposited on a hydrogen-terminated single-crystal diamond surface with gold film in order to protect it from oxidation. Contact properties between nickel and hydrogen-terminated single crystal diamond were measured by a circular transmission line model. The lowest specific contact resistivity was 7.82 × 10-5 ω cm2 at annealing temperature of 750 °C, indicating good ohmic contact, which reveals improved thermal stability by increasing temperature.
