Nano-sized $SnO_2$ thick films were prepared by a screen-printing method onto $Al_2O_3$ substrates. The sensing characteristics were investigated by measuring the electrical resistance of each sensor in a test box as a function of the detection gas. The nano-sized $SnO_2$ thick film sensors were treated in a $N_2$ atmosphere. The structural properties of the nano $SnO_2$with a rutile structure according to XRD showed a (110) dominant $SnO_2$ peak. The particle size of $SnO_2$:Ni nano powders at Ni 8 wt% was about 45 nm, and the $SnO_2$ particles were found to contain many pores according to the SEM analysis. The sensitivity of the nano $SnO_2$-based sensors was measured for 5 ppm $CH_4$ gas and $CH_3CH_2CH_3$ gas at room temperature by comparing the resistance in air with that in the target gases. The results showed that the best sensitivity of $SnO_2$:Ni and $SnO_2$:Co sensors for $CH_4$ gas and $CH_3CH_2CH_3$ gas at room temperature was observed in $SnO_2$:Ni sensors doped with 8 wt% Ni. The response time of the $SnO_2$:Ni gas sensors was 10 seconds and recovery time was 15 seconds for the $CH_4$ and $CH_3CH_2CH_3$ gases.

A gas sensor which has been made by wet process had fabricated by coating each of the mixture on alumina tube and firing at 85$0^{\circ}C$ for 3hrs. A gas concentration such $H_2$, CO, $C_3H_8$, $C_2H_2$ and $CH_4$ vs its detection voltage characteristics has been in-vestigated on $SnO_2-In_2O_3-MgO$ system doped with PdO, $La_2O_3$, $ThO_2$, NiO and $Nb_2O_5$ The optimum sensitivity composition for various gases were 90w/o $SnO_2$-9w/o $In_2O_3$-1w/o MgO for $H_2$, $C_2H_2$ CO and $C_3H_8$ and 95w/o $SnO_2$-4w/o $In_2O_3$-1w/o MgO for $CH_4$. The sample which has been made by wet process than dry process had predominated sensitivity for each gases and particle size of the sample coprecipitated with PH=9 was 0.1${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ The $SnO_2$-In2_O_3-MgO$ system doped with 2w/o $Nb_2O_5$ and NiO was the most sensitive for $H_2$ and $C_2H_2$ gas. In $SnO_2$-In2_O_3-MgO$ system doped with $ThO_2$ the sensitivity of $H_2$ gas was decreased but CO gas was in-creased when dopant con was increased.

본 연구에서는 $CO_2$ 흡수단이 있는 4.3${\mu}m$ 파장대역의 광학 필터를 전자빔 증발 장치를 이용하여 Ge와 $SiO_2$ 박막을 다층으로 설계, 제작하였다. 제작된 Ge/$SiO_2$ 다층박막 필터는 기준파장에 대하여 반가폭(FWHM) 204nm, 투과율 58.2%, 금지대역에 대하여 5% 이하의 차단특성을 나타내는 협대역 투과필터 (narrow band-pass filter: BPF)특성을 나타내었다. 광학적 대역투과필터를 사용하여, FT-IR내에 감지실을 설치하여 단식 필터(KBr+BPF)와 복식필터(BPF+BPF)의 $CO_2$ 농도별 감도특성을 비교측정 하였다. 측정시 $CO_2$의 농도는 500ppm을 단위로 500∼5000ppm의 범위까지 관찰하였는데, 복식 필터는 단식 필터에 비해 투과율이 낮았지만, 우수한 감도 특성을 보였다.

This paper was studied on the effect of the specific resistance of water on corrosion characteristics of STS 304 for gas boiler. The electrochemical polarization test of STS 304 for gas boiler was carried out. And the polarization resistance, uniform corrosion, corrosion behavior by impressed potential and corrosion sensitivity of STS 304 with specific resistance were considered. The main results are as following: 1) With being low the specific resistance of water, the polarization resistance and corrosion potential of STS 304 decreases, while corrosion current density increases. 2) Under constant impressed potential, the corrosion sensitivity of STS 304 is large with being low the specific resistance due to synergy effect of Cl ion.

This study was carried out to apply chemical gas sensors for the identification of bad breath which is one of the important sensitive problem for the humans' daily life. Seven sensors, including five semiconductor sensors and two electrochemical sensors, were tested for the three panels three times in several conditions. The results showed that the reproducibility of sensors were generally good, and electrochemical sensors showed better reproducibility while semiconductor sensors showed better sensitivity. No rinsing before measurement showed relatively better results in terms of both sensitivity and reproducibility. Semiconductor gas sensors for hydrogen sulfide shows the highest sensitivity, and it was recommended to use the odor-free bag for the measurement of bad breath.

$Cr_{2}O_{3}$ thick films were fabricated by screen printing method on alumina substrates and annealed at $700^{\circ}C$, $800^{\circ}C$, and $900^{\circ}C$ in air, respectively. Structural properties examined by XRD and SEM showed (116) dominant $Cr_{2}O_{3}$ peak and increased grain sizes with the annealing. The resistance of the films decreased with increasing the annealing temperature. Gas sensing characteristics to $NH_{3}$, CO, $C_{4}H_{10}$, and NO gases showed sensitivity only to $NH_{3}$ gas. $Cr_{2}O_{3}$ thick films annealed at $700^{\circ}C$ had the sensitivity of about 15 % for 100 ppm $NH_{3}$ gas at the working temperature of $300^{\circ}C$. The thick films had good selectivity to the $NH_{3}$ gas. The response time to $NH_{3}$ gas was about 10 seconds.

Recently, oxide semiconductor gas sensors consisted of n-type semiconductor materials such as $SnO_2$, ZnO and $Fe_2O_3$ have been widely used to detect reducing gases. The advantage of thick-film technology include the possibility of mass-production and automation, that of integrating the sensing element in a hybrid circuit and that of fuctional trimming of the sensor and/or the circuit. which would enable really interchangeable transducers to be prepared. In this paper, we made ZnO and $SnO_2$ gas sensors and investigated the sensitivity to CO gas. Therefore, we compared a ZnO gas sensor with a $SnO_2$ gas sensor.

Low power ZnO-Si gas sensor below 500 mW at operating temperature has been fabricated by using micromachining technique. I-V measurement shows the power consumption of 260 mW at $400^{\circ}C$ The sensitivity of the sensor was 45 percent at operating temperature of $350^{\circ}C$(230 mW) with 1,000 ppm CO gas atmosphere. The response and the recovery time found out to be 94 sec and 180 sec, respectively, when CO gas was used. In order to measure the exact temperature of the gas sensing layer, Pt/Cr bilayer-RTD was used in this experiment.

In this study, ZnO nanorods and $SnO_2$-CuO heterogeneous oxide were grown on membrane-type gas sensor platforms and the sensing characteristics for carbon monoxide (CO) were studied. Diaphragm-type gas sensor platforms with built-in Pt micro-heaters were made using a conventional bulk micromachining method. ZnO nanorods were grown from ZnO seed layers using the hydrothermal method, and the average diameter and length of the nanorods were adjusted by changing the concentration of the precursor. Thereafter, $SnO_2$-CuO heterogeneous oxide thin films were grown from evaporated Sn and Cu thin films. The average diameters of the ZnO nanorods obtained by changing the concentration of the precursor were between 30 and 200 nm and the ZnO nanorods showed a sensitivity value of 21% at a working temperature of $350^{\circ}C$ and a carbon monoxide concentration of 100 ppm. The $SnO_2$-CuO heterogeneous oxide thin films showed a sensitivity value of 18% at a working temperature of $200^{\circ}C$ and a carbon monoxide concentration of 100 ppm.

A space charge model for semiconductor reduced gas sensors has been roposed and applied to gas sensing mechanism. SnO2-x and SnO2-x/Pt thin film were deposited by vacuum evaporating method. And Hall effect and gas sensitivity characteristics of these sensors were measured. From the space charge model and carrier concentration, the number of the adsorbed gas atom on the solid surface was calculated quantitatively. The gas sensing model was compared with CO gas sensitivities of the fabricated thin film gas sensors.
