Abstract:To enhance the sensitivity of SnO2 thin film-based CO2 gas sensors by controlling the surface structure, reactive sputtering was employed during the deposition process, carefully adjusting the oxygen partial pressure to modify the surface structure of the SnO2 films. This process increased the sensitivity, primarily due to larger surface area and improved gas adsorption capabilities. Furthermore, the impact of heterojunctions between p-type SnO and n-type SnO2 on the sensitivity was investigated using a model … Show more
