Sn $O_2$ 가스센서는 낮은 농도의 가연성 가스 및 유독 가스를 표면 저항의 변화로부터 탐지할 수 있으나, 가스 선택성이 부족하다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위해서는 가스반응기구의 규명과 같은 기초이론 연구와 함께 선택성이 우수한 센서재료의 개발 및 적절한 신호처리방법의 적용이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 Sn $O_2$ 표면에서 일어나는 에탄올 (C$_2$ $H_{5}$OH)과 아세토니트릴($CH_3$CN)의 촉매산화반응을 가스크로마토그래피 분석을 통해 확인하였다. PdCl$_2$가 첨가된 Sn $O_2$ 센서는 에탄올과 아세토니트릴에 대하여 높은 감도를 보였고, 반면에 La$_2$ $O_3$가 첨가된 Sn $O_2$ 센서는 에탄올에 대해서는 높은 감도를, 그리고 아세토니트릴에 대해서는 낮은 감도를 보였다. 이들 두 센서재료 개발 및 패턴인식기법적용을 통하여 아세토니트릴에 대한 선택성을 크게 증가시킬 수 있었다. 아세토니트릴에 대한 최소 탐지농도는, 공기 중에서는 15 ppm이었고, 다른 방해가스와 함께 존재할 경우에는 20 ppm에서 100 ppm 정도로 나타났다.

Based on the differential electrode equilibria approach, potentiometric YSZ sensors with semiconducting oxide electrodes for CO detection are developed. To improve the selectivity, sensitivity and response-time of the sensor, our strategy includes (a) selection of an oxide with a semiconducting response to CO, (b) addition of other semiconducting materials, (c) addition of a catalyst (Pd), (d) utilization of combined p- and n-type electrodes in one sensor configuration, and (e) optimization of operating temperatures. Excellent sensing performance is obtained by a novel device structure incorporating $La_2CuO_4$ electrodes on one side and $TiO_2$-based electrodes on opposite substrate faces with Pt contacts. The resulting response produces additive effects for the individual $La_2CuO_4$ and $TiO_2$-based electrodes voltages, thereby realizing an even higher CO sensitivity. The device also is highly selective to CO versus NO with minor sensitivity for NO concentration, compared to a notably large CO sensitivity.

감도가 우수하고 동작온도가 낮으며 반응속도가 빠른 암모니아 가스 센서를 제작하기 위해 ZnO에 촉매불순물 $MoO_3$의 첨가비와 박막 성장분위기 가스를 변화시키면서 RF 마그네트론 스펏터링 방법으로 박막을 성장하였다. 전기적 안정성을 향상시키기 위해 성장된 박막들을 aging 하여 센서를 제작한 후 암모니아 가스의 검지 특성을 조사하였다. 촉매불순물을 첨가하거나 산소분위기에서 성장된 박막의 경우 감도가 향상되었으며, 이는 표면 캐리어 농도와 전자이동도의 증가를 나타냈다. ZnO에 $MoO_3$를 무게비로 0.875 wt.% 첨가한 박막으로 제작한 센서가 160 ppm의 암모니아 가스 농도와 $300^{\circ}C$의 동작온도에서 70정도의 최대감도를 보였다. 산소분위기에서 $330^{\circ}C$로 72시간 동안 aging한 박막으로 만든 센서는 감도가 57정도로 감소하였으나, 센서의 동작온도가 $250^{\circ}C$로 낮아졌고, 선형성이 좋았으며 더 안정된 특성을 나타냈다.

부탄가스 감지를 위해 $WO_{3}$를 기본물질로 하고 산화물을 첨가제로 한 후막형 가스감지 소자를 스크린 프린팅법으로 제조하였고 가스에 대한 감도특성 등을 조사하였다. 첨가 산화물중 $TiO_{2}$를 첨가한 $WO_{3}$ 후막의 부탄가스에 대한 감도가 다른 첨가물을 적용한 후막의 감도보다 상대적으로 높음을 알 수 있었고, $TiO_{2}$의 첨가량이 2wt.%일 때 가장 높은 감도를 나타냄을 알 수 있었다. 열처리 온도를 $900^{\circ}C$까지 변화시켜 보았는데 $650^{\circ}C$일 때 가장 좋은 감도를 나타냈으며, 동작온도를 $400^{\circ}C$까지 변화시켰을 때 $350^{\circ}C$에서 가장 좋은 감도를 가짐을 알 수 있었다. $WO_{3}$에 $TiO_{2}$를 2wt.% 첨가하고, $650^{\circ}C$에서 열처리한 후막의 동작온도 $350^{\circ}C$에서 공기중 20000ppm의 부탄가스에 대해 80%의 감도를 나타내었다.

Metallic tin powder with diameter less than 50 nm was synthesized by inert gas condensation method and subsequently oxidized to tin oxide ($SnO_2$) along the two heat-treatment routes. The $SnO_2$ powder of single phase with a tetragonal structure was obtained by the heat-treatment route with intermediate annealing step-wise oxidation, whereas the $SnO_2$ powder with mixture of orthorhombic and tetragonal phases was obtained by the heat-treatment route without intermediate annealing (direct oxidation). $SnO_2$ gas sensors fabricated from the nano-phase $SnO_2$ powders were investigated by structural observations as well as measurement of electrical resistance. The $SnO_2$ gas sensors fabricated from the mixed-phase powder exhibited much lower sensitivity against $H_2$ gas than those fabricated from the powder of tetragonal phase. Reduced sensitivity of gas sensors with the new orthorhombic phase was attributed to detrimental effects of phase boundaries between orthorhombic and tetragonal phases and many twin boundaries on the charge mobility.

$Co_3O_4$ thick film gas sensor using the powder prepared by hydrothermal reaction method(HRM) was fabricated. For comparison study, we also prepared the sensor using commercial $Co_3O_4$ powder under the same fabrication conditions. Sensitivity, time response, and selectivity of them to variable gases such as iso-$C_4H_{10}$, CO, $NH_3$, and $CH_4$ were investigated. The sensor from the powder prepared by HRM showed higher sensitivity to every gas than those from commercial powder. For iso-$C_4H_{10}$ gas, the sensitivities of both sensor to 100 ppm are 160 % and 40 %, respectively. Time response and selectivity of the sensor using the powder prepared by HRM were better than those of the sensor using commercial powder.

This paper presents characteristics of surface acoustic wave (SAW) gas sensor for detecting volatile gases such as ethanol gas by measuring the phase shift of output signal. A delay-line with a center frequency of 400 MHz was fabricated on $128^{\circ}$ Y-Z $LiNbO_{3}$ substrates. Experimental results, which showed the phase change of the output signal under the absorption of volatile gas on sensor surface, were presented. The sensitivities of SAW delay lines coated with polyurethane films were greatly increased compared to those for uncoated devices. This SAW gas sensor system may be well suited for a high sensitivity electronic nose system.

This study used a single metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) sensor to classify the major odorous gases hydrogen sulfide ($H_2S$), ammonia ($NH_3$) and toluene ($C_6H_5CH_3$). In order to classify these odorous substances, the voltage on the MOS sensor heater was gradually reduced in 0.5 V steps 5.0 V to examine the changes to the response by the cooling effect on the sensor as the voltage decreased. The hydrogen sulfide gas showed the highest sensitivity compared to odorless air under approximately 2.5 V and the ammonia and toluene gases showed the highest sensitivity under approximately 5.0 V. In other words, the hydrogen sulfide gas reacted better in the low temperature range of the MOS sensor, and the ammonia and toluene gases reacted better in the high-temperature range. In order to analyze the response characteristics of the MOS sensor by temperature in a pattern, a two-dimensional (2D) x-y pattern analysis was introduced to clearly classify the hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, and toluene gases. The hydrogen sulfide gas was identified by a straight line with a slope of 1.73, whereas the ammonia gas had a slope of 0.05 and the toluene gas had a slope of 0.52. Therefore, the 2D x-y pattern analysis is suggested as a new way to classify these odorous substances.

This paper proposes a micro gas sensor for measuring $H_2S$ gas. This is based on a $SnO_2$-CuO multi-layer thin film. The sensor has a silicon diaphragm, micro heater, and sensing layers. The micro heater is embedded in the sensing layer in order to increase the temperature to an operating temperature. The $SnO_2$-CuO multi layer film is prepared by the alternating deposition method and thermal oxidation which uses an electron beam evaporator and a thermal furnace. To determine the effect of the number of layers, five sets of films are prepared, each with different number of layers. The sensitivities are measured by applying $H_2S$ gas. It has a concentration of 1 ppm at an operating temperature of $270^{\circ}C$. At the same total thickness, the sensitivity of the sensor with multi sensing layers was improved, compared to the sensor with one sensing layer. The sensitivity of the sensor with five layers to 1 ppm of $H_2S$ gas is approximately 68%. This is approximately 12% more than that of a sensor with one-layer.
