Abstract
Inexpensive miniaturized gas sensing elements detecting various gases with high sensitivity, good thermal stability, and short response time are in high demand. Compatibility of thin films with the silicon technology is the key towards realizing such sensors. High purity Ni-ZrO2 precursor solutions were synthesized and spin deposited by MOD technique on Si substrate and reduced sintered (700-750C/20-30 mins) achieving required surface resistivity. The results show divalent nickel to be 4 coordinated (presence being ¼ of the organic solvents), forming a planar tetragonal polymeric network. Increase/decrease in solvent/solute ratio has shown network instability, increasing the surface resistivity suggestive of +2 metal coordination. Current envelopes and Resistance Vs Temperature responses were measured in the presence of gases like N2, CH4, and O2 for its applications in gas sensing. Due to the high TCR and higher resistance sensitivity to the environment, these films have shown to be potential candidates for gas sensing applications.
