摘要
Ordered silicon nanopillar array (Si-NPA) was fabricated by nanosphere lithography. The size of silicon nanopillars can be easily controlled by an etching process. The period and density of nanopillar arrays are determined by the initial diameter of polystyrene (PS) spheres. It was studied as a sensing material to detect humidity. Room temperature current sensitivity of Si-NPA sensor was investigated at a relative humidity (RH) ranging from 50 to 70%. As a result, the measured current showed there was a significant increase at 70% RH. The response and recovery time was about 10 s and 15s. These excellent sensing characteristics indicate that Si-NPA might be a practical sensing material. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
