Abstract
ZnO thin films were prepared by reactive RF sputtering on thermally oxidized Si for gas sensing applications. Three VOC vapors were chosen to investigate the response behavior of the prepared ZnO. Acetone, isopropanol and ethanol were tested, and the sensitivity of the sensor toward acetone was the highest (S ∼ 100) for 500 ppm acetone at 400 °C. The largest sensitivity was achieved at 400 °C for all the above vapors. The sensor shows a stable, reversible and repeatable behavior in the acetone concentration ranging from 15 up to 1000 ppm. The mechanism of the sensing was explained according to the ionosorption model.
