초록

The network structure of $SnO_2$ nanowires was fabricated on the electrodes by a simple thermal evaporation process from Sn metal powders and oxygen gas. The diameter of the nanowires was $20\;{\sim}\;60\;nm$ depending on the processing conditions. The operating temperature of the sensor could be decreased down below $50^{\circ}C$ by controlling the properties of the nanowires and the structures of the electrodes. The sensitivities were $10\;{\sim}\;15$ when the $NO_2$ concentrations were $10\;{\sim}\;50\;ppm$ at the operating temperature of $50^{\circ}C$.
