摘要
A tin oxide multisensor with eight sensor elements has been utilized to detect different gases that are emitted from the chemical industry. The different sensors have been prepared using the RF reactive sputtering technique. Some components of this multisensor were doped with Pt and Cr by sputtering. Each sensor has been characterized by electrical measurements for detection of atmospheric pollution (nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, toluene, and propanal). The detected gases are toxic and their extreme concentrations recommended in air oscillate from 1 ppm to hundreds of ppm. Detections were carried out with a single gas or a gas mixture (two gases) in dry air at 250 degrees C. The sensitivity and selectivity to these gases were studied. Back-propagation neural networks and their classification results were discussed.
