Abstract

Physical properties and impedance-humidity characteristics of carbon nitride films were investigated for micro-humidity-sensors. Carbon nitride films were deposited in low temperature and low power for application of semiconductor fabrication process, and empirical equation was proposed for thickness evaluation. Deposited films had an uniform and compact surface comparing with previously reported results, which was expected a good candidate for humidity sensing materials. Carbon nitride humidity sensors based on Si substrate revealed good humidity-impedance characteristics with a wide range of relative humidity and showed low hysteresis.
