Abstract

We have investigated air/200ppm NO$_2$ gas-detector characteristics of using CuTBP (Copper-tetra-tert-butylphthalocyanine) chemiresistor devices. The CuTBP films were made by Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) techniques. Sensitivity, response time, recovery time, and repoducibility of the devices were measured by current-voltage characteristics. To increase sensitivity, interdigital electrode 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 have also investigated applicability of the CuTBP chemiresistor device for a gas detector.
