摘要
A new design concept of semiconductor gas sensors, which introduces a foreign antenna material to a gas in problem, is described for the detection of dilute odorous gases such as HN3 and H2S. The antenna material, dispersed on the surface of a semiconducting oxide, interacts with the gas sensitively and selectively, and the resulting change in its chemical stale induces a change in semiconducting properties of the underlying oxide through hetero-junctions. Typical examples of such sensors include NH3 sensors using Au- and Pt-WO3 and an H2S sensor using CuO-SnO2.
