ABSTRACTThin film bismuth piezoresistors, defined on oxidized silicon wafers, are investigated as a function of their orientation for their eventual integration on micro-electro-mechanical (MEMS) microsensors. Bismuth’s piezoresistance (or elasto-resistance) is experimentally investigated to accurately determine its longitudinal and transverse strain sensitivities. Whisker-shaped resistive elements defined on different orientations (from 0o, the beam’s main strain axis, to 90o, perpendicular to that axis) undergo changes of resistance (ΔR), associated with the induced strains on silicon cantilevers beam’s surface when these are mechanically loaded under pure bending stress conditions. For Bi-resistors, the traditional gage factor concept, (ΔR/Ro)/εl, is found to be equal to +16 and +33, for elements oriented along 0 and 90o, respectively, considerably larger than those for metals or metal alloys. These high sensitivity values and the “unusual” positive, higher value for the 90o (perpendicular) resistors can be of considerable interest for microsensors applications. The results of this study enable us to precisely determine the bismuth’s longitudinal and transverse strain sensitivities that are calculated to be equal to +26 and +40.5 respectively. This experimental study is extended to explore the Bi-films’ response to bi-axial strain fields.

Micro-thermoelectric hydrogen sensor (micro-THS) with the combination of the thermoelectric effect of Si0.8Ge0.2 thin film and the Pt-catalyzed exothermic reaction of hydrogen oxidation was prepared by microfabrication process. In the viewpoint of high sensitivity of micro-THS, the thermoelectric properties of the Si0.8Ge0.2 thin film could be improved by optimizing carrier concentration using helicon sputtering with an advantage of easy doping control, and sensitivity of the device with this thin film was investigated. As the result, the boron-doped Si0.8Ge0.2 thin film is considered to be the better choice ensuring the reliable monitoring of hydrogen concentration down to ppm level.
