FET형 용존산소 센서는 pH-ISFET를 기본 소자로하여 pH 감지 게이트 근처에 백금으로 된 작업 전극을 형성한 구조를 가지고 있다. 작업전극에 특정한 전위를 인가하면 전기분해로 인하여 용존산소의 농도에 비례하는 수소 이온이 pH 감지 게이트 주변에 발생된다. 따라서 pH-ISFET를 통하여 수소 이온 농도의 변화량을 검출하면 용존산소의 농도를 측정할 수 있게된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 FET형 용존산소 센서를 어레이 형태로 제작하여 적용하고 측정의 신뢰성을 높이기 위한 알고리즘을 도입한 FET형 용존산소 센서 어레이 측정 시스템을 개발하였다. 또한 상용 용존산소 측정기와 그 성능을 비교 분석하였다.

$H_2S$ micro-gas sensors have been developed employing $SnO_2$:CuO composite thin films. The films were prepared by e-beam evaporation of Sn and Cu metals on silicon substrates, followed by oxidation at high temperatures. Results of various studies, such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) reveal that $SnO_2$ and CuO are mutually non-reactive. The CuO grains, which in turn reside in the inter-granular regions of $SnO_2$, inhibit grain growth of $SnO_2$ as well as forming a network of p-n junctions. The film showed more than a 90% relative resistance change when exposed to $H_2S$ gas at 1 ppm in air at an operating temperature of $350^{\circ}C$ and had a short response time of 8 sec.

Crystallized carbon nitride film that has many stable physical and/or chemical properties has been expected potentially by a new electrical material. However, one of the most significant problems degrading the quality of carbon nitride films is an existence of N-H and C-H bonds from the deposition environment. The possibility of these reactions with hydroxyl group in carbon nitride films, caused by a hydrogen attack, was suggested and proved in our previous reports that this undesired effect could be applied for fabricating micro-humidity sensors. In this study, MIS capacitor and MIM capacitor with $5{\mu}m{\times}5{\mu}m$ meshes were fabricated. As an insulator, carbon nitride film was deposited on a $Si_{3}N_{4}/SiO_{2}/Si$ substrate using reactive magnetron sputtering system, and its dielectric constant, C-V characteristics and humidity sensing properties were investigated. The fabricated humidity sensors showed a linearity in the humidity range of 0 %RH to 80 %RH. These results reveal that MIS and MIM $CN_{X}$ capacitive humidity sensors can be used for Si based micro-humidity sensors.

This paper presents the preparation of SnO$_2$ films by Sol-Gel process and using spin coating method, and their sensing properties in CO gas. Experimental procedure consisted of following steps: (1) Tin chloride(SnCl$_4$) and Ammonium hydrogen carbonate (NH$_4$HCO$_3$) were used as precursors; (2) the Sol solution with concentration of about 10wt% SnO$_2$ was prepared from washed Gel-precipitate for spin coating step; (3) thereafter, the coating solution was dropped onto the alumina (Al$_2$O$_3$) substrate that was then spun, the spin coating was carried out with total 10 times; (4) finally, the films were calcined for 3 hours at 50$0^{\circ}C$ or higher temperature (600, 700, 800 or 90$0^{\circ}C$) in order to obtain various gram sizes. The average grain size was calculated by Scherrer's equation using main peaks in XRD spectra; meanwhile the thickness, microstructure and surface morphology of the films were observed by FE-SEM.

Activated carbon fiber (ACF) surfaces are modified using an electron beam under different aqueous solutions to improve the NO gas sensitivity of a gas sensor based on ACFs. The oxygen functional group on the ACF surface is changed, resulting in an increase of the number of non-carbonyl (-C-O-C-) groups from 32.5% for pristine ACFs to 39.53% and 41.75% for ACFs treated with hydrogen peroxide and potassium hydroxide solutions, respectively. We discover that the NO gas sensitivity of the gas sensor fabricated using the modified ACFs as an electrode material is increased, although the specific surface area of the ACFs is decreased because of the recovery of their crystal structure. This is attributed to the static electric interaction between NO gas and the non-carbonyl groups introduced onto the ACF surfaces.

This article reports a spontaneous method for controlling the growth mode from vertically arrayed ultra-slim MgZnO nanowires to nanowalls through the Zn random motion of seeds formed by surface phase separation by Mg injection near an evaporation temperature of Zn. The random motion of single crystal MgZnO seeds with relative Zn rich phase played a vital role in the growth of the MgZnO nanowalls. The seeds were networked with increasing Zn flux compared with Mg flux and closing to the evaporation temperature of Zn on phase separation layers. We achieved fabrication of MgZnO nanowalls on various non- and conducting substrates by this advanced growth method. The MgZnO nanowalls hydrogen sensor showed an improved sensing performance compared to the MgZnO nanowires grown under the similar conditions. Based on the microstructural characterizations, the growth procedure and models for the evolution of the structure transition from MgZnO nanowires to nanowalls on the Si substrates are proposed for phased growth times.

The acetylene black (AB) was dispersed into water in the presence of dihexadecyl hydrogen phosphate (DHP) via ultrasonication, resulting in a stable and well-distributed AB/DHP suspension. After evaporation of water, an AB/DHP composite film-modified electrode was prepared. The electrochemical responses of $K_3$[Fe$(CN)_6$] at the unmodified electrode, DHP film-modified electrode and AB/DHP film-modified electrode were investigated. It is found that the AB/DHP film-modified electrode possesses larger surface area and electron transfer rate constant. Furthermore, the electrochemical behaviors of 1-naphthylacetic acid (NAA) were examined. At the AB/DHP film-modified electrode, the oxidation peak current of NAA remarkably increases. Based on this, a sensitive and convenient electrochemical method was proposed for the determination of NAA. The linear range is in the range from $4.0 {\times} 10^{-8}\;to\;5.0 {\times} 10^{-6}$ mol $L^{-1}$, and the detection limit is $1.0 {\times} 10^{-8}$ mol $L^{-1}$. Finally, this new sensing method was employed to determine NAA in several soil samples.

A new colorimetric sensors containing thiourea (1-(4-nitrophenyl)-3-quinolin-6-ylthiourea; 1) and urea(1-(4-nitrophenyl)-3-quinolin-6-ylurea; 2) moieties for fluoride were designed and synthesized. These simple receptors were characterized their stoichiometry, and investigates the mechanism of their selectivity as anion receptors. The addition of tetrabutylammonium fluoride salts to the solution of receptors caused a dramatically and clearly observable color changes from colorless to yellow. To examine their application as anion receptors by UV-vis and $^1H$ NMR spectroscopy results revealed their higher selectivity for fluoride ion than other anions. The receptors and fluoride ion formed a 1:1 stoichiometry complex through strong hydrogen bonding interactions in the first step, followed by a process of deprotonation in presence of an excess of $F^-$ in DMSO solvent.

The complex formation between diazocalix[4]dipropyl (1) and diazocalix[4]crown-6 ether (2) with alkali, alkaline earth and transition metal ions was investigated by voltammetry. Electrochemical properties of compounds 1 and 2 and their selectivity toward metal ions were evaluated in $CH_3CN$ solution by comparison of voltammetric behaviors of two phenols in each compound. Compounds 1 and 2 showed almost same voltammetric behavior which is two irreversible oxidation peaks caused by intramolecular hydrogen bonding between two phenols in 1 and 2. While, however, upon interacting with various metal ions, 1 with two propyl ether groups showed no significant changes in voltammetry, 2 with crown ether group caused significant voltammetric changes upon the addition of $Ba^{2+}$ to 2. Their behavior is closely related to the complex formation by entrapment of metal ion into crown ether cavity, and ion-dipole interaction between metal ion and two phenolic groups in calix[4]crown-6.

This study proposes a pH-dissolved-oxygen monitoring system using 8-HydroxyPyrene-1,3,6-trisulfonic acid Trisodium Salt (HPTS) and tris(4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline)Ruthenium(II) chloride (Ru_dpp). Commercial water-quality sensors are electrochemical devices that require frequent calibration and cleaning, are subject to high maintenance costs, and have difficulties conducting measurements in real-time. The proposed pH-dissolved-oxygen monitoring system selects a thin-film sensing layer to measure the change in fluorescence intensity. This change in fluorescence intensity is based on reactions with hydrogen ions in an aqueous solution at a given pH and specific amount of dissolved oxygen. The change in fluorescence intensity is then measured using light-emitting diodes and photodiodes in response to HPTS and Ru_dpp. This method enables the development of a relatively small, inexpensive, and real-time measureable water-quality measurement system.
