Abstract
This study uses nanotechnology, MEMS technology and doping technology to produce a room temperature ZnO:Ga H2S gas sensor with a nanowires hybrid nanosheets (NWs&NSs) structure. ZnO:Ga NWs&NSs is fabricated by adding gallium nitrate hydrate (GNH) to an aqueous solution to grow ZnO nanowires (NWs). The results for SEM show that ZnO NWs grow on the sensing material but e non-IDE regions have a nanosheet structure. EDS results show that Ga element is almost doped in the ZnO nanosheets. XRD analysis shows that the diffraction peaks for the ZnO:Ga NWs&NSs are attributed to lanes of the Wurtzite hexagonal. In terms of the gas sensing characteristics of the ZnO:Ga NWs&NSs/MEMS sensor, it has a greater sensor response than a ZnO NWs/MEMS and a ZnO thin film/MEMS gas sensor at room temperature with a H2S concentration of 0.8 ppm. The average response time is 22.4 s and the recovery time is 16.8 s for a ZnO:Ga NWs&NSs/MEMS gas sensor that operates at room temperature with a 0.4 ppm H2S ambiance. The ZnO:Ga NWs&NSs/MEMS gas sensor is also less sensitive to CO, CO2, H2 and SO2. These experimental results show the ZnO:Ga NWs&NSs/MEMS H2S gas sensor is stable, reproducible and selective.
