In this paper two kind of sensors based on WO3 sputtered by magnetron sputtering and annealed at 600 °C have been studied. The first kind was processed by two-dimensional direct laser interfering patterning (DLIP) and the second one without any additional treatment. Morphological and structural characterization have shown a hole structure in a periodic line-pattern for the DLIP-processed sensors and a flat surface for the only-annealed sensors, both with a tetragonal WO3 phase. TOF-SIMS analysis has revealed that the first WO3 layers are reduced for both samples, which could improve sensing performance. Promising response enhancement of DLIP-processed sensors has been observed for low concentrations of NO2 (from 0.5 ppm to 5 ppm) at 200 °C, lowering the limit of detection (LOD) to 10 ppb, half of the LOD of the only-annealed sensors (20 ppb). Cross sensitivity to CO and HCHO have been investigated and the sensing mechanisms discussed.

Abstract

In this paper two kind of sensors based on WO3 sputtered by magnetron sputtering and annealed at 600 °C have been studied. The first kind was processed by two-dimensional direct laser interfering patterning (DLIP) and the second one without any additional treatment. Morphological and structural characterization have shown a hole structure in a periodic line-pattern for the DLIP-processed sensors and a flat surface for the only-annealed sensors, both with a tetragonal WO3 phase. TOF-SIMS analysis has revealed that the first WO3 layers are reduced for both samples, which could improve sensing performance. Promising response enhancement of DLIP-processed sensors has been observed for low concentrations of NO2 (from 0.5 ppm to 5 ppm) at 200 °C, lowering the limit of detection (LOD) to 10 ppb, half of the LOD of the only-annealed sensors (20 ppb). Cross sensitivity to CO and HCHO have been investigated and the sensing mechanisms discussed.
