Diamond and related devices represent a field of great scientific and technological interest, due to both the interesting physical properties of diamond, such as the radiation hardness, high thermal conductivity, large bandgap, high carrier mobility, chemical stability, bio-inertness and biological tissue equivalence, and the application of diamond devices in sensors, nuclear physics and medicine[1,2]. In order to exploit the great potentials of diamond sensors, having good electrical contacts is essential. Contact adhesion, stability, radiation hardness and ohmic behaviour are generally crucial issues of surface metallization for contact realization. Laser-induced graphitization is an alternative single step process that could be used to produce bidimensional conductive structures fully integrated in all-carbon devices [3].
