Title: Temperature-Programmed Gas-Sensing With Microhotplates: An Opportunity to Enhance Microelectronic Gas Sensor Metrology
Published: October 05, 2009
Abstract: It is only recently that the ITRS (International Technical Roadmap for Semiconductors) has identified functional diversification through heterogeneous integration as a key enabler of future industry growth. This paper describes a powerful temperature programmed gas sensing technique that has the potential to convert low-cost, integrated, microhotplate-based non-selective, metal-oxide gas sensors into stable, sensitive, and highly selective gas sensor systems. The paper also points out the importance of temperature sensor stability to support this technique.
