김성진,Kim Seong-Jeen 한국전기전자재료학회 2006 전기전자재료학회논문지 Vol.19 No.5

We fabricated gas sensors using carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as electron emitters for the purpose of detecting inert gases. By using the silicon-glass anodic bonding and glass patterning technologies with the typical Si process, we improved the compactness of the sensors and the reliability in process. The proposed sensor, based on, an electrical discharge theory known as Paschen's law in principle, works by figuring the variation of the discharge current depending on gas concentration. In the experiment, the initial breakdown characteristics were measured for air and Ar as a function of gas pressure. As the result, even though it should be realized that there are many other factors which have an effect on the breakdown of a gap, the sensors led to similar result as predicted by Paschen's law, and they showed a possibility as gas sensors which enable to detect the gas density ranged to the vacuum pressure from 1 to $10^{-3}$ Torr.

Recently the solution-based thin film technology has often been treated in the field of device fabrication owing to easy process and convenience for the development of various semiconductor devices and sensors. We deposited on glass substrate single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs)/silane hybrid thin films by multiple spray-coating which is one of solution-based processes, and examined their electrical response for humidity. Generally silane binders which are often mixed in carbon nanotube (CNT) solution to adhere CNTs to substrate well form easily each own functionalized group on the surface of CNTs after they are hardened by way of the hydrolysis reaction. In this work, we investigated how silane binders (TEOS (tetraethoxy silane), MTMS (methyltrimethoxysilane) and VTMS (vinyltrimethoxysilane)) in CNT thin films make effect to their electrical response on humidity. As the result, we found that the resistance in the samples using TEOS was changed dramatically while it was almost invariant in the samples using MTMS and VTMS for increasing humidity.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been well known as electron emitters for field emission applications like FEDs. In this work, we propose as new application a vacuum sensor using CNTs and discuss its current-voltage characteristics as a function of vacuum pressure. The proposed sensor, based on electrical discharge theories in air gap well-known as Townsend theory and as Paschen's law, works by figuring out the variation of the dark current and the initial breakdown voltage depending on the vacuum pressure of air which can ionize through collisions with the electrons accelerated by high electric field.

Porous silicon(PS) has received much attention as a sensitive material of chemical sensors because of its large internal surface area. In this work, we fabricated gas-sensing devices based on the porous silicon layer which could be applicable to the measurement of blood alcohol content(BAC), and estimated their electrical properties. The structure of the sensor is similar to an MIS (metal-insulator-semiconductor) diode and consists of thin Au/oxidized PS/PS/p-Si/Al, where the p-Si substrate is etched anisotropically to reduce the thickness. We measured C-V curves from two types of the samples with the PS layer treated by the different anodization current density of 60 or 100 mA/cm$^2$, in order to compare the sensitivity. As a result, the magnitude and variation of capacitances from the devices with the PS formed under the current density of 100 mA/cm$^2$ were found to be more detectable due to the larger internal surface.

We suggest a CNT-based gas sensor for breath alcohol measurement. The sensor was composed of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) thin film on flexible PES (polyethersulfone) substrate, and the SWCNTs thin film was formed by multiple spray-coating with SWCNTs solution which was well-dispersed, highly controlled and functionalized in ethanol solvent. In this work, three types of SWCNTs thin films were deposited with changes in the number of spray-coatings to 20, 40 and 60 times in order to compare electrical response properties of the SWCNTs thin films. from the fabricated sensors, conductance and capacitance responses were measured and discussed. Alcohol gas sensors have been commercialized widely as gauge for breath alcohol measurement which is applicable to checking whether car drivers are drinking-driving or not. Our alcohol gas sensors showed good sensitivity and linearity even at room temperature.

A capacitance-type sensor using porous silicon layer is developed to measure aqueous alcohol concentration. Since alcohol, so called ethanol, is very permeable into the silicon wafer, it is often used to help chemical reaction when the silicon wafer is processed under some aqueous solution. In this work, the sensing property was measured for the alcohol concentration from zero to near 100 percent with two types of samples with porous silicon layer formed in 25 and 35% HF solution, respectively. Good reliability as well as fast response time and good linearity were shown over 10kHz and the measured capacitance was observed to be inverse to alcohol concentration due to the decrease of the whole dielectric constant in porous silicon layer. 다공질 실리콘 층을 이용한 정전용량형 알코올 센서를 제조하여 수용액 상태의 알코올(혹은 에탄올) 농도를 측정하고 그 특성을 평가하였다. 알코올 중에서 술의 주성분인 에탄올은 실리콘 웨이퍼에 대해 침투성이 강하여 수용액 내에서 실리콘 웨이퍼를 가공할 때 반응을 촉진시키는 물질로서 자주 사용된다. 본 연구에서는 각각 25와 35%의 불화수소용액에서 만든 다공질 실리콘 층을 알코올 감지막으로 한 알코올 센서를 제작하여 0%에서 100%의 알코올 농도범위에 대해 감지 특성을 측정하였다. 그 결과, 100kHz 이상의 인가 주파수에 대해 빠른 응답속도 및 선형성 뿐만 아니라 양호한 재현성이 관측되었으며, 측정된 정전용량은 수용액 속의 알코올 농도가 증가할 때 다공질 실리콘 층의 전체 유전 상수가 감소하게 되어 반비례하는 관계가 관측되었다.

저농도 알코올 측정을 위한 다공질 실리콘 센서에 관한 연구

김성진,Kim Seong-Jeen 한국전기화학회 1999 한국전기화학회지 Vol.2 No.3

본 연구에서는 음주 측정에 적용할 수 있는 다공질 실리콘층으로 된 저농도의 캐퍼시턴스형 알코올 가스 측정용 센서를 제작하고, 상온에서 그 특성을 측정하였다. 기존의 $SnO_2$등의 금속 산화물 반도체를 이용한 센서는 저농도의 알코올을 정확하게 검지하기에 어려울 뿐만 아니라 감도를 높이기 위해 $200\~400^{\circ}C$로 가열이 필요하였다. 이에 비해 다공질 실리콘층을 이용한 센서는 넓은 표면적을 갖고 있어 상온에서도 감도가 양호할 뿐만 아니라 집적화 센서로 제작이 용이한 점을 갖고 있다. 실험은 증류수에 희석한 알코올 수용액을 체온과 같은 $36^{\circ}C$를 비롯하여 25와 $45^{\circ}C$로 유지한 상태에서 0에서 $0.5\%$의 농도범위에 대해서 $0.05\%$의 간격으로 120 Hz와 1 kHz의 두 주파수에서 측정하였다. 그 결과, 양호한 선형성과 함께 120 Hz의 주파수에서 측정하였을 때, $0.1\%$의 알코올 농도의 증분마다 $25,\;36,\;45^{\circ}C$의 알코올 수용액의 온도에 대해 각각 1.1, 2.6 및 $4.6\%$로 캐퍼시턴스의 증가율을 보였다. In this work, a capacitance-type alcohol gas sensor using porous silicon layer is developed to apply for breath alcohol measurement and its characteristics are estimated at room temperature. Current alcohol sensors using metal oxides such as tin-oxide are not only difficult to measure low alcohol concentration, but also should heat at $200\;to\;400^{\circ}C$ to improve the sensitivity. But the sensor using porous silicon layer has good sensitivity even at room temperature by very large effective surface area and suitable structure to fabricate integrated micro sensors. In the experiment, the capacitance was measured for the range of 0 to $0.5\%$ alcohol concentration with the interval of $0.05\%$, in which alcohol solution was kept at 25, 36, and $45^{\circ}C$ by a heater. As the result, good linearity was observed and the capacitance increased about 1.1, 2.6 and $4.6\%$ per the increment of $0.1\%$ alcohol concentration each temperature, respectively, at the frequency of 120 Hz.

We investigated a SiC-based hydrogen gas sensor with MIS (metal-insulator-semiconductor) structure for high temperature applications. The sensor was fabricated by $Pd/TiO_2/SiC$ structure, and a thin titanium dioxide ($TiO_2$) layer was exploited for sensitivity improvement. In the experiment, dependences of I-V characteristics and capacitance response properties on hydrogen gas concentrations from 0 to 2,000 ppm were analyzed at room temperature to $400^{\circ}C$. As the result, our sensor using $TiO_2$ dielectric layer showed possibilities with regard to use in hydrogen gas sensors for high-temperature applications.

고온에서 이용 가능한 수소 센서에 관해 연구하였다. 센서는 $Pd/Ta_2O_5/SiC$으로 구성된 MOS 구조로 제작되었으며, $Ta_2O_5$ 박막은 급속 열 산화법(RTO)법으로 형성하였다. 본 연구에서는 3가지 다른 패턴의 팔라듐(Pd) 전극으로 만든 센서를 제작하여, Pd 전극의 형태가 응답 특성에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. 그 결과, 센서는 Pd 전극의 채워진 면적이 클수록, 정전용량의 응답특성이 개선됨을 확인하였다. We investigated a hydrogen gas sensor which is available in a high temperature atmosphere. The hydrogen sensors were fabricated into a metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) structure made of $Pd/Ta_2O_5/SiC$, and the thin tantalum oxide ($Ta_2O_5$) layer was fabricated by rapid thermal oxidation (RTO). In the experiment, we made three types of sensors with different palladium (Pd) patterns to evaluate the effect of Pd electrode on response characteristics. As the result, the response characteristics in capacitance were improved further when the filled area of the Pd electrode became larger.
