摘要

Abstract

Diamond is an ultrawide bandgap semiconductor with excellent electronic and photonic properties

which has great potential applications in microelectronic and optoelectronic devices. As an allotrope of diamond

graphene also has many fantastic properties like diamond

which caught much attention in combing them together. In this work

a direct sp

-to-sp

conversion method was proposed to fabricate graphene layers on single crystal diamond by thermal treatment with Ni film catalyst. By optimizing the conversing conditions

a thin graphene layer with low sheet resistance was obtained on diamond. Based on this

an all-carbon sandwich structural graphene-diamond-graphene (GDG) detector was fabricated

which shows low dark current of 0.45 nA at 0.5 V μm

−1

applied electric field. The maximum sensitivity of this detector is obtained when the incident X-ray is 12 keV

with the value of 2.88 × 10

−8

C Gy

−1

. Moreover

the rise time and delay time of the GDG detector is about 1.2 and 22.8 ns

respectively

which are very close to that of diamond detector with Ti/Au electrode. The realization of the direct

in-situ

-to-sp

conversion on diamond shows a promising approach for fabricating diamond-based all-carbon electronic devices.
