  • Abstract
    This work presents a graphene-diamond-metal thin film system as ultraviolet (UV) light sensor on a flexible substrate. New scientific and engineering breakthroughs are: (1) first experimental investigation of electrical and optical properties of carbon-based sp2-sp3 (graphene-diamond) junction; (2) a peel-and-stick fabrication process to make flexible diamond thin films from CVD-grown micro crystalline diamond (MCD) wafers; and (3) a sandwich-like vertical sensor structure with graphene as a transparent top electrode, and metal (Ti-Au) as an ohmic bottom contact electrode. As such, the proposed detector/architecture can open up a new class of scheme to build diamond-based, attachable, portable and wearable optoelectronic systems.
