[0002] MOS gas sensor has a simple structure and low cost characteristics,
environmental monitoring, food and public safety, aerospace, process control,
disease diagnosis and other fields are widely used. But MOS gas sensors for gas
with broad-spectrum response characteristics, can not differentiate between the
type of gas, that is less selective, become an obstacle MOS sensor application
bottlenecks. Effective way to increase selectivity is to present a plurality of gas
sensors based on the integration of different materials for the MOS sensor array,
which requires fixed location sensitive material to achieve the preparation of the
space in the manufacturing process of the array. There are two array fabrication
technologies: screen printing and micro drip. Using traditional screen printing
technology combined with multi-pass strategy, the sensor array can be produced
based on a number of different sensitive material of the sensor element, which
sensitive membrane has a porous structure, large surface area, high sensitivity and
fast response, but its process complexity, high cost and difficult to scale
manufacturing; micro-infusion technology, can easily produce a gas sensor array,
low cost, easy-to-scale manufacturing, but because of the sensitive material is a
dense film, gas sensor array poor sensitivity and slow response .
[0003] On the other hand, the sensitive film of the MOS array has a porous network
structure, the specific surface area can be obtained, a high activity, a substantial
increase in sensitivity and response speed of the sensor, and the expense of
preparing a template method is the special structure of the material Effective
methods. Conventional manufacturing method is a sensor or an array of first
having a specific structure have been prepared by ball milling a slurry material, and
then using the screen printing technique to be printed onto a substrate sensitive
membrane formed by sintering, and then the package, but the manufacturing
process easy to make the structure of the special preparation is destroyed.
[0004] If the sacrificial template-based method, the two kinds of array fabrication
techniques (screen printing and micro-infusion) effective combination, weaknesses,
and materials synthesis synchronized with the sensor array fabrication, integration,
you can overcome the traditional sensor array defects in the manufacturing
method, by a simple and effective method for manufacturing MOS gas sensor
array, the special structure of the sensitive film can be maintained on the array, a
sensor array manufactured with high selectivity and high sensitivity and fast
response.
SUMMARY
[0005] The present invention provides a method of manufacturing a MOS gas
sensor array, a porous network structure, and its object is both to ensure that the
special structure of the device is not destroyed in the manufacturing process, and
can easily be manufactured based on a plurality of different sensitive materials The
sensor array of sensor elements, in order to increase the selectivity, the sensitivity
and response speed of the array.
[0006] The method for manufacturing a MOS gas sensor array of the present
invention provides the method comprising the steps of:
[0007] Step I pretreatment:
[0008] On a clean screen printing electrodes of the ceramic substrate and a heater
successively and sequentially performed by the leveling, drying and firing to give
the sensor array substrate;
[0009] The second step screen printing CNTs template material:
[0010] After the pretreatment of the sensor array substrate, screen printing CNTs
template material film to obtain a film of CNTs array template material and heat
treated to remove organic matter in the slurry is added to the printing;
[0011] Step 3 of infusion solution or sol of the precursor:
[0012] In various CNTs template material were obtained CNTs template material
film array film infusion of different precursor solution or sol, and sonicated and the
solution or sol infiltration CNTs template material film;
[0013] In the present invention, a M1C1-M2C2 -...- MiC1 -...- MnCn said solution or
sol of the precursor, wherein, is the number of elements in an array on, is an
integer of 2 , Mi represents the precursor of the metal element, the requirements of
the metal oxide of the element corresponds to the gas-sensitive semiconductor, Ci
represents the corresponding precursor solution or sol of the metal element
concentration 100-fold, MiCi to the array corresponds to the infusion section the ith element; i represents the number of array elements, which ranges from I to n, Ci
ranges from I to lOOmol / L;
[0014] Step 4 step heat treatment:
[0015] The template material through the membrane array of CNTs third
processing step carried out after the first step heat treatment to the precursor
solution of the metal salt or metal-containing organic compounds is converted to
the corresponding elements M0S, and sintered, or so that the precursor sol The
oxide sintered compact; and a second step heat treatment, i.e., heating is
continued so that CNTs template is sufficiently removed by oxidation, a gas sensor
array based on a plurality of different MOS sensor element having a porous
network structure.
[0016] The process of the present invention is based on CNTs sacrificial template,
a combination of screen printing, micro-infusion, and the sintering process, a
porous network structure in the surface of the sensor array in situ prepared MOS,
and the method can overcome the conventional sensor array Defects preparation
methods, the preparation of a highly selective sensor arrays. Compared with the
prior art and the materials of the present invention has the following advantages:
[0017] 1. The solution to the traditional method of manufacturing a sensor
(materials synthesis and device fabrication separation) easy to damage the special
structure of the material shortcomings;
[0018] The traditional process of manufacturing the sensor is first combined into a
'sensitive material having a specific structure, and manufacturing and packaging
devices. MOS is a brittle material and the toughness is poor, which leads to the
preparation of the special structure of MOS device is easily destroyed in the
manufacturing process, so that did not play the role of a special structure. Material
of the present invention uses a method for preparing integrated device prepared
directly sensitive material having a specific structure in the surface of the sensor
array in situ, the preparation of materials and device fabrication together, avoiding
the special structure of the material is destroyed in the process of manufacture of
the device.
[0019] 2. The single-use screen printing to prepare a sensor array based on a
plurality of different sensor elements sensitive materials and sensitive material
having a porous network structure;
[0020] The traditional screen printing can only print one material to the preparation
of an array of a plurality of different sensors based on sensitive materials of the
sensor element, we need multi-pass, which makes the technology and complexity,
and sometimes it is difficult to achieved. The present invention is based on CNTs
sacrificial template method, combined with screen printing and micro-infusion
process, with only one screen printing combined with micro-infusion and
subsequent sintering in the sensor array can be manufactured in situ surface of a
porous network based on multiple MOS sensor array of sensor elements in
different structures.
The prepared sensor array [0021] 3. has good selectivity and a single sensor also
has high sensitivity and fast response rate;
[0022] Currently, the sensor array for reducing gas response can only be difficult to
pick out specific categories of gas. The present invention, the sensor array
according to Example 1, the parameter Znl5-Co05-1nl0-Sn20 manufacture of
HCHO, CH3COCH3 ^ C7H8, and large differences in response of NH3, with a
higher selectivity can be used to distinguish the type of gas, and a single sensor
also has high sensitivity and fast response speed characteristics.
[0023] The present invention provides a gas sensor having an array of a plurality of
different porous network structure of the MOS sensor elements exhibits a better
faster response, and have the advantage of a better selectivity for testing
