Abstract

We fabricated In2O3 zig-zag nanocolumns(ZZNCs) by oblique angle deposition method based on e-beam evaporator for highly sensitive and selective CH3COCH3 sensor. Our results indicate that as the ZZNCs layer stacks, the gas response also increases. In comparison to thin films, ZZNCs at 5 layer show a 117-fold enhancement in gas response and a rapid response time (~2 s). When measured with various gases, it showed a high selectivity towards acetone. Under conditions of 80% R.H., exposure to CH3COCH3 gas theoretically indicated a detection limit of 1.2 part-per-billion(ppb). These results suggest the potential of In2O3 ZZNCs as a breath analyzer for the diagnosis of diabetes.
