研究目的
Developing a highly sensitive, selective, and low-power-consuming gas sensor for NO2 detection at room temperature using p-type metal-oxide-semiconductor materials.
研究成果
The p-type SnOX TFT NO2 gas sensor, fabricated via RF sputtering, demonstrated high sensitivity and selectivity at room temperature, with a maximum response of 19.4 to 10 ppm NO2. It outperformed chemiresistor-based sensors and showed advantages in response and recovery times. The sensor's performance is promising for RT operation, but ongoing research is required to address current-drift issues and improve reliability.
研究不足
The SnOX TFT gas sensor exhibited incomplete recovery characteristics due to current-drift phenomenon, especially in transistor-type sensors. Operating temperature variations affected response, with decreased sensitivity at higher temperatures. Humidity reduced response values, though effects were relatively small compared to other sensors. Further optimization is needed to enhance stability and reduce drift.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study designed a p-type SnOX thin-film transistor (TFT) gas sensor with a bottom-gate configuration to enhance sensitivity by amplifying signals through gate voltage modulation. The SnOX thin-film was deposited using radio frequency (RF) sputtering and characterized for crystalline structure, morphology, and atomic bonding.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The SnOX thin-films were fabricated on highly-doped n-type silicon substrates with a 40-nm-thick SiO2 gate dielectric. Samples were prepared under specific sputtering conditions and annealed.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included RF sputtering system, rapid thermal annealer, electron-beam evaporator, semiconductor parameter analyzer (Agilent 4156C), X-ray diffractometer (Bruker D8 Advance), field emission-scanning electron microscopy (Zeiss Sigma), X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (Thermo Scientific K-Alpha), and a gas-sensing system with chamber probe station. Materials included metallic Sn target (99.999% purity), Ni for electrodes, and various gases (NO2, NH3, H2S, CO2, CO).

4. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow: Fabrication involved depositing SnOX active layer via RF sputtering, annealing, and patterning electrodes. Gas-sensing measurements were conducted at temperatures from RT to 100°C, with responses calculated based on resistance changes in air and target gases. Humidity effects were tested by adjusting relative humidity.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Responses were quantified using defined equations for oxidizing and reducing gases. Parameters like response time and recovery time were measured, and data were analyzed to compare sensitivity and selectivity.
