A highly sensitive ammonia gas sensor using thick-film technology has been fabricated and examined. The sensing material of the gas sensor is FeOx-$WO_{3}-SnO_{2}$ oxide semiconductor. The sensor exhibits resistance increase upon exposure to low concentration of ammonia gas. The resistance of the sensor is decreased, on the other hand, for exposure to reducing gases such as ethyl alcohol, methane, propane and carbon monoxide. A novel method for detecting ammonia gas quite selectively utilizing a sensor array consisting of an ammonia gas sensor and a compensation element has been proposed and developed. The compensation element is a Pt-doped $WO_{3}-SnO_{2}$gas sensor which shows opposite direction of resistance change in comparison with the ammonia gas sensor upon exposure to ammonia gas. Excellent selectivity has been achieved using the sensor array having two sensing elements.

Transparent conducting $SnO_2$-based thin films have been coated on float substrates such as fused quartz, and ceramic fiber cloths such as the Nexel and E-glass cloth from tin alkoxides by the sol-gel technique. Also, thin films of alternating layers of $SnO_2$ and $SiO_2$ have been fabricated by dip coating. The sheet resistance and average visible transmittance of the films were investigated in the aspect of the applications as transparent electrodes such as liquid crystal displays, photo-detectors and solar cells. The Nextel and E-glass cloths coated with antimony-doped tin oxide (ATO) had sheet resistance of as low as $20 \;ohm/{\Box}$ and $120ohm/\;{\Box}$, respectively. The promotion effects of additives as $La_2O_3$ and Pt on the ethanol gas sensing properties of the films were investigated in the aspects of the applications as an alcohol sensor and a breath alcohol checker. Possible evidence of quantum well effects in the oxide multilayers of $SnO_2$ and $SiO_2$ was investigated.

Porous silicon(PS) has received much attention as a sensitive material of chemical sensors because of its large internal surface area. In this work, we fabricated gas-sensing devices based on the porous silicon layer which could be applicable to the measurement of blood alcohol content(BAC), and estimated their electrical properties. The structure of the sensor is similar to an MIS (metal-insulator-semiconductor) diode and consists of thin Au/oxidized PS/PS/p-Si/Al, where the p-Si substrate is etched anisotropically to reduce the thickness. We measured C-V curves from two types of the samples with the PS layer treated by the different anodization current density of 60 or 100 mA/cm$^2$, in order to compare the sensitivity. As a result, the magnitude and variation of capacitances from the devices with the PS formed under the current density of 100 mA/cm$^2$ were found to be more detectable due to the larger internal surface.

The nano-grained Pd or Pt-doped $SnO_{2}$ thin films were deposited on the alumina substrate at ambient temperature or $300^{\circ}C$ by using an R.F. magnetron sputtering system and then annealed at $650^{\cir}C$ for 1 hour or 4 hours in air. The crystallinity and microstructure of the annealed films were analyzed. A grain size of the thin films was 30 nm to 50 nm. As a result of gas sensitivity measurements to an alcohol vapor of $36^{\circ}C$, the 2 wt.% Pt-doped $SnO_{2}$ thin-film sensor deposited at $300^{\circ}C$ and annealed at $650^{\circ}C$ for 4 hours showed the highest sensitivity.

We suggest CNT-based gas sensors for breath alcohol measurement. The sensors were composed of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) thin film on glass substrate with simple process, and the SWNTs thin film as sensing layer was formed by multiple spray-coating with SWNT composites which was well-dispersed, highly controlled and differently functionalized by various binders (TEOS, MTMS, and VTMS) added in ethanol solvent. In this work, three different SWNTs thin films were made to compare their electrical response properties for alcohol vapor. From fabricated sensors, conductance responses were measured and discussed. In the result, our alcohol gas sensors showed an effective selectivity even at room temperature.

The ${\gamma}$-Fe$_2$O$_3$ compounds were oxidized in the furance after gas detecting sensor made molding as the Fe$_3$O$_4$ the synthesized Fe$_3$O$_4$, by ferrous sulfate and sodium hydroxide. Their sensities on carbon monoxide, ethyl alcohol and L. P. G. were measured at various temperatures, respectively. And then their electrical resistivities, thermal properties (D.T.A. ＆ T.G.A.), were examined about their having an effet on the gas-sensing in company with the effect of pure ${\gamma}$-Fe$_2$O$_3$ and the detecting sensor ${\gamma}$-Fe$_2$O$_3$, which reacts with $K_2$CO$_3$ in the hydrothermal coundition, and the electrical conductive mechanism was reflected simultaneously. It was observed that the electrical conductivities and response ratios showed highest value at the endothermic temperature part, 300~35$0^{\circ}C$ of D.T.A.―curve. Consequently, the response ratios and response times of the hydrothermal detecting sensor were higher than that of pure detecting sensor, the specific surface areas were the highest at the endothermic range of D.T.A.-curve. These response ratios of detecting sensor for $K_2$CO$_3$, process at hydrothermal condition on carbon monoxide appeared higher than that on ethyl alcohol and in case of L.P.G. last.
