Abstract

The $NO_2$ GAS Sensitivity characteristic of CuTBP(Copper-tetra-tert-butylphthalocyanine) LB films were investigated through a study of current-voltage (I-V) characteristics with a variation of number of electrode finger pairs N ($1{\sim}25$). A concentration of 200ppm $NO_2$ gas was used. It was found that a conductance G increases monotonically as the number of interdigital electrode increases, and a Sensitivity, Reproducibility is stable. As far as a current is concerned, the current when N=25 is greater than that when N=1 by 70 or so. It indicates that the number of interdigital electrodes affects the current, sensitivity and stability. We knew that the $NO_2$ gas detector application possibility using a current of N=25.
