Abstract
We have studied the effect of the composition of semiconductor materia l based on Sn1-xSbxO2 solutions on the sensitivity of semiconductor ga s sensors (the ratio of the conductivity of the sensitive element in t he presence of gas to its conductivity in air). We have shown that the sensitivity of the sensors increases when the Sb concentration in the semiconductor decreases. We have established that sensors containing solid solutions with 0.001 less than or equal to x less than or equal to 0.01 have optimal sensitivity.
