Abstract:
A novel micro-structure co-plane gas sensor was designed.And a sample of sensor was fabricated by MEMS technology,The tests show the sensitivity was 8.6 for 50×10
-6 CO gas concentration,the power consumption is 82mW,response time is about 5s,and recuperate time is more or less 22s.Whereas for the conventionality sintered type sensor made by the same sensitive materials,the sensitivity of new type sensor is 2.5 times higher than the conventionality type sensor,and the power consumption is just the half.The new type of micro-structure CO gas sensor possess the advantages of small volume,lightness,low power consumption,high sensitivity,and convenience for assembling.
