K. Steiner et al., CA-CATALYZED AND PT-CATALYZED THIN-FILM SNO2 GAS SENSORS FOR CO AND CO2 DETECTION, Sensors and actuators. B, Chemical, 25(1-3), 1995, pp. 529-531
Pt-, Ca- and Pt/Ca-catalyzed thin-film SnO2 gas sensors have been stru
ctured on Si substrates. The sensors are temperature stable at 900 deg
rees C in synthetic air for 48 h. No significant outdiffusion of the s
ensor layers or peeling effects can be observed after annealing. Pt/Ca
catalyst combinations reduce the sensor-signal drift. Pt/Ca-catalyzed
sensors show a weak CO2 gas response. Ca catalysts lead to a strong N
H3 response.
