Abstract
A study was performed on enhanced room-temperature piezoconductance of metal-semiconductor hybrid (MSH) structures in the presence of uniaxial tensile strain. It was found that the magnitude of the enhanced piezoconductance was more than five times greater than that of the homogeneous semiconductor alone. The magnitude of the enhanced piezoconductance was strongly dependent on both the properties and location of the metal-semiconductor interface.
