摘要
Electrical characteristics of Cu oxide thin films with different nanostructures were investigated for gas sensor applications. Nanowires and hillocks were formed on the Cu oxide thin films by the stress-induced migration, and the current-voltage characteristics of these films were measured. They showed a combination of ohmic and space-charge-limited conduction. The sheet resistance calculated from the voltage range of ohmic conduction changed in a wide range from 2.1 x 10(3) to 1.4 x 10(7) Omega/sq. Despite the different nanostructures on the films, the sheet resistance was proportional to their volume. Moreover, the temperature dependence of the current-voltage characteristics of the film was examined. The results indicated that the geometric shape of nanostructures on the Cu oxide thin film has a significant effect on electrical characteristics. (C) 2021 Acta Materialia Inc.
