Abstract :
A new ohmic contact technology on diamond with low resistivity is presented. A Si/AI metallisation is used and leads to a 7 ?? 10-6 ??.cm2 specific contact resistivity, measured by the transfer length method. Comparison is made between this technology and the Ti/Pt/Au traditional technology. Both technologies show very good electrical, thermal and mechanical characteristics.
