Problems solved by technology

[0003] The most representative piezoresistive sensitive material is single crystal silicon, but due to the preparation process, its application in the field of flexible sensors is seldom
In recent years, new sensitive materials represented by graphene and carbon nanotubes have been used more and more in flexible strain sensors. However, due to the transfer process still required after their preparation, their production is difficult to batch and the cost is high.

Abstract

The invention provides a method for preparing an amorphous carbon film with piezoresistive performance and toughness on the surface of a flexible substrate. The method adopts high-power pulse magnetron sputtering technology, selects graphite target, sputters and deposits an amorphous carbon film on the surface of a flexible substrate in an inert gas atmosphere, the pulse power supply voltage is 800-1000V, and the pulse duty ratio is 1%-5 %. Compared with the prior art, this method also avoids the problem of damage to the flexible base material caused by excessive temperature during the preparation process, so it can be applied to flexible piezoresistive sensing elements to realize the flexibility of piezoresistive sensing elements.
