Abstract

In this paper, we fabricated $CO_2$ gas sensor based on the MEMS infrared sensor and characterized its electrical and $CO_2$-sensing properties. The fabricated $CO_2$ gas sensor by MEMS technique has many advanges over NDIR(nondispersive) $CO_2$ sensor such as monolithic fabrication, very high selectivity on $CO_2$, low power consumption and compact system. Microbolometer by surface micromachining was fabricated for gas detector and $CO_2$ filter chip by bulk micromachining was fabricated for signal referencing. By using the proposed and fabricated gas sensor, we are expected to measure $CO_2$ concentration more accurately with high reliability.
