The as prepared materials are investigated in detail through various analytical techniques and the findings are consistent with each other. The sensing response of the proposed sensors were systematically investigated to enhance their sensing performance as a function of operating temperatures and gas concentration, and different analyte gases. The sensors showed maximum sensing response toward heptane and decane compared to other interfering gases such as hydrogen, carbon monoxide, acetone, ethanol, and methanol at 125 °C. The proposed sensors exhibit excellent detection range as low as 1 ppm with appreciably fast response and recovery time.

Although, increasing the throughput remains inevitable, and can be done by increasing the etching rate. Furthermore, freestanding structure release time can be reduced by the improved undercutting rate at convex corners. In this work, we have investigated the etching characteristics of a non-conventional etchant in the form of hydroxylamine (NH<sub>2</sub>OH) added sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution. This research is focused on Si{100} wafer as this orientation is largely used in the fabrication of planer devices (e.g., complementary metal-oxide semiconductors) and microelectromechanical systems (e.g., inertial sensors). We have performed a systematic and parametric analysis without and with 12% NH<sub>2</sub>OH in 10 M NaOH for improved etching characteristics such as etch rate, undercutting at convex corners, and etched surface morphology. 3D scanning laser microscope is used to measure average surface roughness (<i>R</i><sub><i>a</i></sub>), etch depth (d), and undercutting length (<i>l</i>). Morphology of the etched Si{100} surface is examined using optical and scanning electron microscopes. The addition of NH<sub>2</sub>OH in NaOH solution remarkably exhibited a two-fold increment in the etching rate of a Si{100} surface. Furthermore, the addition of NH<sub>2</sub>OH significantly improves the etched surface morphology and undercutting at convex corners. Undercutting at convex corners is highly prudent for the quick release of microstructures from the substrate. In addition, we have studied the effect of etchant age on etching characteristics.

The sensing properties of piezoresistive pressure sensors mainly depends on the materials and contact morphologies at the interface. This paper proposes a flexible pressure sensor based on multi-height microstructures in which the measurement sensitivity and detection range are tunable. Such tunability is due to the sequential contact of micropyramids with different heights.
