Abstract

A gaseous oxygen detector has been developed in a configuration of Pd-$SnO_x$-$Si_3N_4$-$SiO_2$-Si-Al with highly resistive $SnO_x$ layer as the oxygen adsorptive element. In this paper, we present the characteristics of the device in response to oxygen adsoption/desorption under applied d.c. bias. Experimental results showed that the oxygen adsorptive response by the device was reduced significantly under a positive gate bias, for all experimental regions of $O_2$ partial pressure. On the other hand, the application of a negative gate bias increased the device's adsorptive response of oxgyen. A device model concerning this electroadsorption/desorption behavior of the device is provided.
