摘要
Thin film gas sensors based on purr tin dioxide were modified by sputtering of copper on the surface of the films. A gradual increase of an amount of the on-top-Cu produced increasing doping with uniform distribution of copper throughout entire tin oxide film. An increase of an amount of Cu caused continuous variation of the clean air resistance and the resistance response to CO and H-2 gases at various temperatures (290-550 K). For certain Cu amounts, samples shaw a large sensitivity towards one gas component while the cross-sensitivity remains small. The Cu-effect is discussed considering the variation of the Fermi level induced by doping and the clusters of topper on the surfaces of the grains. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
