An ability of $NO_2$ gas detection has been investigated using dilithium phthalocyanine($Li_2Pc$) Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films. It is a well-known gas sensitive material and has been manufactured under a surface pressure of 30mN/m. A status of deposited films was confirmed by UV-visible absorption spectrum, ellipsometry measurements and current-voltage characteristics. Gas-detection characteristics of the films were studied through an electrical conductivity, response time, recovery time, and reproducibility under 200 ppm of $NO_2$ gases.

In this paper, $NO_2$ gas detection characteristics of Octa-dodecyloxy copper-phthalocyanine films prepared by LB method was investigated measuring the electrical conductance of these films. The electivity characteristics of these LB films exposed to $NO_2, NO, and SO_2$ gas was also investigated. Conductivity activation energy of these films as a function of temperature was obtained.

The NO$_2$ gas-detection characteristics were investigated using the functional organic Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) film of Copper-tetra-tert-butylphalocyanine(CUTBP). The optimum conditions for a film deposition were obtained through a study of $\pi$-A isotherm and the deposited film status was confirmed by ellipsometry measurements. In the NO$_2$ response experiments, first of all, the proper number of layer was obtained by a change of the electrical conductivities depending on the number of layer when the film is exposed to the gas. And response time, recovery time, and reproducibility were measured on it. On the other hand, how the NO$_2$ gas interacts to the LB film was studied by UV/visible absorption spectra.

The N $O_{2}$ gas-detection characteristics were investigated using the functional organic Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films of Copper-tetra-tert-butylphthalocyanine (CuTBP), Dilithium phthalocyanine (Li$_{2}$Pc), N-docosylpyridinium TCNQ(C$_{22}$Py(TCNQ)), Polyamic acid alkylamine salts (PAAS). The optimum conditions for a film deposition were obtained through a study of .pi.-.ALPHA. isotherms and the deposited film status was confirmed by electrical and optical methods such as UV/visible absortion spectra, thickness measurements by ellipsometry, and electrical capacitances. A response of the LB films to the N $O_{2}$ gas was measured by a change of the electrical conductivities when the film is exposed to the gases. The CuTBP LB film shows the biggest change of the electrical conductivities when it is exposed to the N $O_{2}$ gases. And the order of gas-detection performance is the following;Li$_{2}$Pc, $C_{22}$Py(TCNQ), and PAAS LB films. Especially, the CuTBP and Li$_{2}$Pc LB films not only show the bigger change in the electircal conductivities when exposed to the gas, but return to the original state when the gas is desorbed.d.

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. It was found that at room temperature there are increments of electrical conductivities by 40 times, 25 seconds of response time and 40 seconds of response time when the films were exposed to the 200ppm NO$_2$gases. We hale observed an increase of the electrical conductivities as the density of NO2 gas increases.

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.

Metallo-phthalocyanines(MPcs) are very sensitive to toxic molecules such as electron affinitive NO2 gas and also chemically and thermally stable since losts of MPcs have been studied for the potential chemcial gas sensors for $NO_2$ using their electrical conductivity. In this study, thin films of octa-dodecyloxy copper -phthalocyanine were prepared by Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) method and characterized by using UV/Vis absorption spectroscopy, and ellipsometry. It was found that the proper transfer surface pressure for the film deposition was 25mN/m and the limiting area per molecule was $112\AA$/molecule. The film thickness of one layer was $64\AA$. Current-voltage(I-V) characteristics of these films were investigated as a function of film thickness.

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.

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 $60^{\circ}C$.
