In this study, ruin films of Octla-dodecyloxy copper-phthalocyanine were prepared by Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) method and characterirzed by using UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy and ellipsometry. [1],r[2] Optimal transfer condition of LB films was investigated and preliminary results of current-voltage(1-V) characteristics of these films exposed to NO$_2$ gas as were discussed functions of film thickness, temperature and NO$_2$ gas concentration.

We have investigated gas-detection characteristics of CuTBP (Copper-tetra-tert-butylphthalocyanine) chemiresistor devices exposed to air/200ppm N $O_{2}$ gases. The CuTBP films were made by Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) techniques. Sensitivity, response time, recovery time, and reproducibility of the devices were measured by current voltage characteristics. Interdigital electrode was used to improve the sensitivity. It was observed that a conductance G increases monotonically as the number of interdigital electrode finger pairs increases. As the number of interdigital electrode finger pairs increases, the sensitivity S( $G_{gas}$/ $G_{air}$) increases more than 50 times and stable. But the response time was delayed. The average recovery time of the CuTBP chemiresistor devices turned out to be about 100 second. We have also investigated applicability of the CuTBP chemiresistor device for a gas sensor.sor.

The $NO_2$ gas-detection characteristics were investigated using the functional organic Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) films of Copper-tetra-tert-butylphthalocyanine(CuTBP). The optimum conditions for a film deposition were obtained through a study of $\pi$-A isotherms, and the deposited film status was confirmed by the ellipsometry measurements. The $NO_2$ gas response experiments under 200 ppm concentration at room temperature show that there are increment of electrical conductivity by 40 times and 25 seconds of response time, and 40 seconds of recovery times.

The NO$_2$ gas-deteotion characteristics were investigated using the functional organic Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) files of Dilithium phthalocyanines(Li$_2$Pc). The optimum conditions for a film deposition were obtained through a study of $\pi$-A isotherms, and the deposited film status was confirmed by the ellipsometry measurements. A propel number of layers for the gas-detection was proved to be 9 layers from a measurement of a measurement of change in the electrical conductivities when the films were exposed to the 200 ppm of the NO$_2$ gases. A response time, recovery time, and reproducibility were also studied. A proper temperature which was able to activate gas interaction between NO$_2$ gases and Li$_2$Pc LB films was around 150$^{\circ}C$ judging from the electrical conductivities in a temperature range of 20 to 200$^{\circ}C$. It was found that at 150\ulcorner there are increments of electrical conductivities by 65 tines, 30 seconds of response time and 60 seconds of recovery tine when the filmswere exposed to the gasses.

It is well known that the metallo- phthalocyanine (MPcs) are sensitive to toxic gaseous molecules such as $NO_2$ and also chemically and thermally stable, Therefore, lots of MPcs have been studied for the potential chemical sensor for $NO_2$ gas using quartz crystal microbalance(QCM) or electrical conductivity. In this study, ultra-thin films of octa(2-ethylhexyloxy)copper-phthalocyanine were prepared by Langmuir-Blodgett method and characterized by using UV-VIS absortion spectroscopy and ellipsometry. Transfer condition, and characterization of LB films were investigated and preliminary results of current-voltage(I-V) characteristics of these films exposed to $NO_2$ gas as a function of film thickness and temperature were discussed.

Organic ultra thin films about 500${\AA}$ in thickness are fabricated by LB(Langmuir-Blodgett) technique and their gas detect properties are investigated. The LB films deposited are made of the specimen named as N-docosyl pyridinium(TCNQ) and the deposition is verified by capacitance conductivity measurement. From the study of gas detect properties with I-V characteristics and UV spectrum we have found that their conductivities were increased about 3 times of magnitude and peaks of UV spectrum were decreased.

We have studied a properly of N-docosyl pyridinium(TCNQ) Langmuir-Blodgett film at room temperature with the $NO_2$ gas-detection characteristics. As a result, we have found that their conductivities were increased by 6 times at 5 layers(about $250{\AA}$ thickness) LB film. However, their reproducibility was not able to be measured at room temperature. Therefore, we must find their working temperature which was able to activate gas-detection characteristics. The $NO_2$ gas response experiments under 200 ppm concentration in $50^{\circ}C$ show that :here are increment of electrical conductivity by 8 times and 100 seconds of response time, and 200 seconds of recovery times at $60^{\circ}C$.
