Abstract :

In this paper Zinc oxide nanowire has been configured as n-channel FET s. These transistors have been implemented as chemical sensors for detection of various chemical gases. During the course of investigation it is observed that the nanowire conductance is reduced when it is exposed to oxygen, nitrogen dioxide, ammonia gases at room temperatur e. Its ammonia sensing behavior is observed to switch fr om oxidizing to reducing when temperatur e is incr eased to 500 K. This effect is mainly attributed to the temperatur e dependent Fermi level shift. In addition, carbon monoxide is found to incr ease the nanowire conductance in the presence of oxygen. Furthermore, the detection sensitivity dependence on the nanowire radius is presented.
