본 연구에서는 소자의 크기에 따른 코발트-저마늄 박막 기반의 galvanic cell의 특성을 조사하고, 이를 물 접촉 감지에 활용하기 위한 아두이노 기반 사물인터넷 센서 네트워크에의 적용을 제시한다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 코발트 저마늄 박막 기반 galvanic cell은 기존의 압전, 열전 에너지 하베스팅 소자와 다르게, 소자의 손상을 줄 수 있는 기계적인 변형이나 온도 구배를 필요로 하지 않는다는 점에서, 자가발전 센서 네트워크를 구축하는데 있어 더욱 적합한 에너지 하베스팅 소자로 적합하다. 본 연구는 스퍼터링 방식으로 증착된 코발트-저마늄 박막 기반의 galvanic cell을 센서로 활용함으로써 향후 자가발전 센서 네트워크의 실현 가능성에 대해 논의함으로써 향후 연구, 개발될 발전된 형태의 센서 네트워크 구축에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

이온빔 보조 증착법을 이용하여 제작한 $SnO_2$박막을 기저 물질로한 가연성 센서에 catalyst로 ultra-thin Pd layer를 이온빔 스퍼터링으로 흡착시켰다. 가연성 기체의 센싱 메카니즘에서 Pd 촉매의 역할을 정확하게 조사하기 위해서 진공 및 공기 상에서 annealing 함으로서 Pd 촉매의 초기 산화 상태를 조절하였다. 촉매가 순수한 금속 Pd 클러스터 상태로 존재하는 $SnO_2$센서의 경우에는 PdO 클러스터가 있는 것에 비해 높은 감응성을 보였다. 이것은 PdO 클러스터가 표면 acceptor로 작용을 하는 것으로 생각되며 $SnO_2$로 부터 Pd sub-channel을 통해 전자를 받아 센서의 감도를 낮추고 응답시간을 늦추는 것으로 생각된다.

This paper presents characteristics of surface acoustic wave (SAW) gas sensor for detecting volatile gases such as acetone, methanol, and ethanol by measuring phase shift of output signal. A delay-line by combining with a center frequency of 200 MHz was fabricated on S-T Quartz substrates. Using gas chromatography column, the selectivity of the SAW gas sensor were introduced. Experimental results, which show the phase change of output signal under the absorption of volatile gas on sensor surface, were presented. This SAW gas sensor system may be well suited for a high performance electronic nose system.

A Rhodamine-based fiber-optic sensor has been developed to detect mercury ions in aqueous environments. The fiber-optic sensor was composed of a mercury-sensing thin film, plastic optical fibers, and a spectrometer. The mercury-sensing thin film with the synthesized Rhodamine derivatives was fabricated with Sol-Gel process. A light emitted by a light source is guided by plastic optical fibers into the thin film in an aqueous solution and a reflected light is analyzed with the spectrometer. The experiment exhibits that an absorbance in the thin film is increased as mercury concentration is increased in the solution and the absorbance by mercury is higher than that by other heavy metals. The fiber-optic sensor exhibits high chromogenic phenomenon of mercury ions among various heavy metals and the correlation between absorbance and mercury concentration in the aqueous environments.

This paper describes fabrication and characteristics of metal thin-film pressure sensor for working at high temperature. The proposed pressure sensor consists of a chrom thin-film, patterned on a Wheatstone bridge configuration, sputter-deposited onto thermally oxidized Si membranes with an aluminium interconnection layer. The fabricated pressure sensor presents a low temperature coefficient of resistance, high-sensitivity, low non-linearity and excellent temperature stability. The sensitivity is 1.097 $\sim$ 1.21 mV/V kgf/$cm^2$ in the temperature range of 25 $\sim$ $200^{\circ}C$ and the maximum non-linearity is 0.43 %FS.

Characteristics of thin-film NTC thermal sensors fabricated by micromachining technology were studied as a function of the thickness of membrane. The overall-structure of thermal sensor has a form of Au/Ti/NTC/$SiO_{X}$/(100)Si. NTC film of $Mn_{1.5}CoNi_{0.5}O_{4}$ with 0.5 mm in thickness was deposited on $SiO_{X}$ layer (1.2 mm) by PLD (pulsed laser deposition) and annealed at 873-1073 K in air for 1 hour. Au(200 nm)/Ti(100 nm) electrode was coated on NTC film by dc sputtering. By the results of microstructure, X-ray and NTC analysis, post-annealed NTC films at 973 K for 1 hour showed the best characteristics as NTC thermal sensing film. In order to reduce the thermal mass and thermal time constant of sensor, the sensing element was built-up on a thin membrane with the thickness of 20-65 mm. Sensors with thin sensing membrane showed the good detecting characteristics.

This paper describes on the fabrication and characteristics of a ceramic thin-film pressure sensor based on Ta-N strain gauges for harsh environment applications. The Ta-N thin-film strain gauges are sputter deposited onto a micromachined Si diaphragms with buried cavity for overpressure protectors. The proposed device takes advantages of the good mechanical properties of single crystalline Si as diaphragms fabricated by SDB and electrochemical etch-stop technology, and in order to extend the operating temperature range, it incorporates relatively the high resistance, stability and gauge factor of Ta-N thin-films. The fabricated pressure sensor presents a low temperature coefficient of resistance, high sensitivity, low non-linearity and excellent temperature stability. The sensitivity is $1.097{\sim}1.21mV/V{\cdot}kgf/cm^2$ in the temperature range of $25{\sim}200^{\circ}C$ and the maximum non-linearity is 0.43 %FS.

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.
