Abstract
A thin film oxide semiconductor micro gas sensor array which shows only 60㎽ of power consumption at an operating temperature of 30$0^{\circ}C$ has been fabricated using microfabrication and rnicrornachining techniques. Excellent thermal insulation of the membrane is achieved by the use of a double la! or structure of 0.1${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ thick Si$_3$N$_4$ and 1${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ thick phosphosilicate glass(PSG) prepared by low pressure chemical vapor deposition(LPCVD) and atmospheric-pressure chemical-vapor deposition(APCVD), respectively. The sensor way consists of such thin film oxide semiconductor sensing materials as 1wt.% Pd-doped SnO$_2$, 6wt.% AI$_2$O$_3$-doped ZnO, WO$_3$ and ZnO. The thin film oxide semiconductor micro gas sensor array exhibited resistance changes usable for subsequent data processing upon exposure to various gases and the sensitivity strongly depended on the sensing layer materials. Heater Part of the sensor structure has been modified in order to improve the process yield of the sensor, and as a result of modified heater structure improved process yield has been achieved.
