Intending to use semiconductor films for piezoresistive elements, polycrystalline silicon films are prepared by electron bombardment method on insulating substrates and electrical properties of the films are investigated. Gage factor of the film is in the vicinity of 25, temperature coefficient of resistance and gage factor is about 1.8×10-4/°C, 1.1×10-3, respectively, for the resistivity of an order of 10-3 Ω cm. Much smaller coefficients are obtained by heat treament.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
