In this paper, it was fabricated the P-channel MOSFET typed MWCNT(multi-walled carbon nanotube, MWCNT) gas sensor using the MWCNT which had the high quality electric, mechanical and chemical stability characteristics. The Au was used with the drain-source electrode, and Cu was with the gate electrode in the gas sensor. The distance of drain-source electrode on the sensor was 30, 60, 90 and 120[㎛] respectively. We observed the variation of resistance for the sensor with the concentration of NOx gas 8, 16, 24 and 32[ppm] in the fixed-chamber. And then, it was changed the ambient temperature and gate-source voltage(Vgs) for MWCNT gas sensor to obtain the sensitivity, normalized response and absorption of energy(Ua) with the NOx gas concentration. The 2.19%, 2.11%, 4.99% and 3.32% of sensitivity was shown at each electrode gap of 30, 60, 90, 120[㎛] from the sensitivity analysis result when injected NOx gas 8[ppm] at the temperature of 20℃. As a result, it was obtained that the sensitivity increased as the drain-source gap of sensor increased. Moreover, it is identified that the sensitivity of gas sensor also increased as the temperature rised. The fact that the absorption of NOx gas molecules grows active as the temperature increases is inferred to be the cause of it. Furthermore, it is confirmed that the absorption energy Ua is 8.5110-3[eV] and 13.2710-3[eV] when Vgs is each 0[V] and 5[V] in the electrode gap 90[㎛], and Vgs affects gas response characteristics.
