Vn. Shabanov et Dv. Shengurov, INFLUENCE OF A METHANE ATMOSPHERE ON THE TEMPERATURE-DEPENDENCE OF THE CONDUCTIVITY OF POLYCRYSTALLINE SILICON FILMS, Technical physics letters, 24(5), 1998, pp. 377-378
The possibility of using polycrystalline silicon films in gas sensors
is investigated. An analysis is made of the influence of a small quant
ity of methane admitted into the surrounding medium on the temperature
dependence of the layer resistivity of films doped with acceptor impu
rities. It is established that the resistivity increases appreciably i
n the temperature range between 470 and 500 degrees. (C) 1998 American
