In this study, a thick-film semiconductor odor gas sensor for the detection of $CH_3$SH was developed using SnO$_2$ as the main substrate and was investigated in terms of its sensitivity and reaction time. In the process of manufacturing the sensor, Taguchi's design of experiment (DOE) was applied to analyze the effects of a variety of parameters, including the substrate, the additives and the fabrication conditions, systematically and effectively. Eight trials of experiments could be possible using the 27 orthogonal array for the seven factors and two levels of condition, which originally demands 128 trials of experiments without DOE. The additives of Sb$_2$O$_{5}$ and PdCl$_2$ with the H$_2$PtCl$_{6}$ ㆍ6$H_2O$ catalyst were appeared to be important factors to improve the sensitivity, and CuO, TiO$_2$, V$_2$O$_{5}$ and PdO were less important. In addition, TiO$_2$, V$_2$O$_{5}$ and PdO would improve the reaction time of a sensor, and CuO, Sb$_2$O$_{5}$, PdCl$_2$ and H$_2$PtCl$_{6}$ㆍ6$H_2O$ were negligible. Being evaluated simultaneously in terms of both sensitivity and reaction time, the sensor showed the higher performance with the addition of TiO$_2$ and PdO, but the opposite results with the addition of CuO, V$_2$O$_{5}$, Sb$_2$O$_{5}$ and PdCl$_2$. The amount of additives were superior in the case of 1% than 4%. H$_2$PtCl$_{6}$ㆍ6$H_2O$ would play an important role for the increase of sensor performance as a catalyst.nce as a catalyst.

In this study, the colorimetric sensor, polyester (PET) fabric dyed with lead (II) acetate (Pb(C₂H₃O₂)₂), was fabricated and characterized for the detection of the hydrogen sulfide (H₂S). The surface morphology of the fabric was determined using scanning electron microscope and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The optical properties of the fabric were evaluated by measuring the variation in the blue value of an RGB sensor. The fabric showed a significant color change, high linearity (R² : 0.98256), and fast response time (< 1.0 s) when exposed to H₂S. This is because the sensor is highly porous and permeable to the gas. The fabric can not only be used as a hydrogen sulfide sensor but also be used to detect and prevent H₂S influx using sticky tape on pipelines.

장미 구성요소 중 꽃잎 부분을 $NH_3$ 감응센서에 고정시켜서 글루타민 조직센서를 제조하여 pH, 완충용액, 조직 양 및 여러 가지 방해물질의 영향과 전극의 수명 등에 관하여 조사하였다. 그 결과 37$^{\circ}C$에서 pH 7.8, 0.2M 인산완충용액을 사용하였을 때, $8.0 {\times} 10^{-4}$ ∼$5.0 {\times} 10^{-2}$ M 글루타민 직선범위와 52 mV/decade의 감응기울기를 나타내었다. 이 때 사용한 조직 양은 50 mg이었다. 본 센서는 선택성이 탁월한 것으로 나타났다. 이 센서를 장미의 다른 구성요소와 비교하였다. 실제 글루타민의 정량에 유용하게 사용될 것으로 나타났다.

A dual micro gas sensor array was fabricated using nano sized $SnO_2$ thin films which had good sensitivities to CO and combustible gases, or $H_2S$ gas for air quality sensors in automobile. The already existed air quality sensor detects oxidizing gases and reducing gases, the air quality sensor(AQS), located near the fresh air inlet detected the harmful gases, the fresh air inlet door/ventilation flap was closed to reduce the amount of pollution entering the vehicle cabin through HVAC(heating, ventilating, and air conditioning) system. In this study, to make $SnO_2$ thin film AQS sensor, thin tin metal layer between 1000 and $2000{\AA}$ thick was oxidized between 600 and $800^{\circ}C$ by thermal oxidation. The gas sensing layers such as $SnO_2$, $SnO_2$(pt) and $SnO_2$(+CuO) were patterned by metal shadow mask for simple fabrication process on the silicon substrate. The micro gas sensors with $SnO_2$(+Pt) and $SnO_2$(CuO) showed good selectivity to CO gas among reducing gases and good sensitivity to $H_2S$ that is main component of bad odor, separately.

In this work, pure hierarchical ZnO structure was prepared using a simple hydrothermal method, and Ag nanoparticles doped hierarchical ZnO structure was synthesized uniformly through photochemical route. The reduced graphene oxide (rGO) has been synthesized by typical Hummer's method and reduced by hydrazine. Prepared Ag/ZnO nanostructures are uniformly dispersed on the surface of rGO sheets using ultrasonication process. The synthesized samples were characterized by SEM, TEM, EDS, XRD and PL spectra. The average size of prepared ZnO microspheres was around $2{\sim}3{\mu}m$ and showed highly uniform. The average size of doped-Ag nanoparticles was 50 nm and decorated into ZnO/rGO network. The $C_2H_2$ gas sensing properties of as-prepared products were investigated using resistivity-type gas sensor. Ag/ZnO-rGO based sensors exhibited good performances for $C_2H_2$ gas in comparison with the Ag/ZnO. The $C_2H_2$ sensor based on Ag/ZnO-rGO had linear response property from 3~1000 ppm of $C_2H_2$ concentration at working temperature of $200^{\circ}C$. The response values with 100 ppm $C_2H_2$ at $200^{\circ}C$ were 22% and 78% for Ag/ZnO and Ag/ZnO-rGO, respectively. In additions, the sensor still shows high sensitivity and quick response/recovery to $C_2H_2$ under high relative humidity conditions. Moreover, the device shows excellent selectivity towards to $C_2H_2$ gas at optimal working temperature of $200^{\circ}C$.

Planar type micro catalytic combustible gas sensor was developed by using nano crystalline $SnO_2$ Pt thin film as micro heater was deposited by thermal evaporation method on the alumina substrate. The thickness of the Pt heater was around 160 nm. The sensor showed high reliability with prominent selectivity against various gases(Co, $C_3H_8,\;CH_4$) at low operating temperature($156^{\circ}C$). The sensor with nano crystalline $SnO_2$ showed higher sensitivity than that without nano crystalline $SnO_2$. This can be explained by more active adsorption and oxidation of hydrogen by nano crystalline $SnO_2$ particles. The present planar-type catalytic combustible hydrogen sensor with nano crystalline $SnO_2$ is a good candidate for detection of hydrogen leaks.

Multiwall carbon nanotubes are synthesized by using VLS mechanism for the application to $H_2$ gas sensor. MWCNT is not suitable for hydrogen gas sensor due to its low response to the gas. To enhance the gas sensing performance, multiwall carbon nanotubes are coated with $TiO_2$ nanoparticles. Scanning electron microscopy and Transmission electron microscopy showed that the synthesized MWCNT were well dispersed with the diameter and wall thickness of approximately 10-30nm and 5nm, respectively. The MWCNT sensor showed the sensitivities of 1.33-9.5% for the $H_2$ concentration of 100-5000ppm at room temperature. These sensitivities are significantly improved to 6.64-46.65% by coating $TiO_2$ nanoparticles to the MWCNT sensor. The mechanisms of $H_2$ gas sensing improvement of the MWCNT sensor coated with $TiO_2$ nanoparticles are discussed.

수소이온운반체로 HDBA(hexyldibenzylamine)나 HDPA(hexyldiphenylamine)을 이용하여 고분자막 pH 센서를 제작하였고, 온도 및 막의 두께 변화에 대한 전기화학적 특성을 연구하였다. HDPA를 이용한 센서는 수소이온에 대하여 선택적으로 감응하지 않았으며, HDBA를 이용한 센서는 pH 2 - pH 10 범위에서 수소이온에 대하여 선형적이고, 응답시간도 30 - 50초로 매우 빠르며, Nernstian 기울기는 53.6mV/pH을 나타내었다. pH 센서는 유리전극과 비교하여 알칼리금속과 알칼리토 금속이온에 대하여 방해를 적게 받았고, 재현성 및 안정성에 대한 편차는 2 - 4mV(${\pm}0.1mV$)로 우수하게 나타내었다.

The ISFET(ion sensitive field effect transistor), a semiconductor ion sensor, has many advantages over conventional ion sensors. Various single-sensor type ISFET pH-meters have been developed. However, they could not be applied in fields because their performances are directly affected by the sensor condition. With only one sensor, the system could be easily damaged from environmental factors, and reliability of it is decreased. Therefore, a 4-channel PH-meter system is proposed to improve the reliability of ISFET pH-meter. It has 4 ISFETS as ion sensor, and a software which contains a new calibration and measurement algorithm appropriate to the system. The reliability of the system was proved by measuring hydrogen ion concentration in the pH standard solutions and buffer solutions.

The C3H8 gas sensitivities of SnO2, Pd-SnO2, Pt-SnO2 gas sensor are looked over with the impregnation method of PdCl2, H2PtCl6 solution on SnO2. The Cl- ion due to incomplete decomposition of PdCl2 at 80$0^{\circ}C$ for 30 min decrease the C3H8 gas sensitivity of SnO2, and the sensitivity is increased by the impreganation of H2PtCl6 solution on SnO2 because of its lower decomposition temperature compared with PdCl2. The C3H8 gas sensitivities of Pd-SnO2, Pt-SnO2 impregnated slightly after 1st sintering are larger than that of pure SnO2 sensor because very small amount of Cl- ion exist in sample due to smaller amount of impregnaiton.
