Effects of ultraviolet illumination and a parylene-A activation layer on the gas phase sensing characteristics of ZnO nanobridges

Creator:

Mason, Ashley D.

Abstract:

ZnO nanowires (NWs) are good candidates for chemical sensing because of their high surface-to-volume ratio. In this work, ZnO nanobridge sensors were fabricated utilizing a novel method which uses carbonized photoresist (C-PR) as a nucleation layer. The use of C-PR allows simultaneous growth and integration of NWs to lithographically-defined features....

A novel method for zinc oxide nanowire sensor fabrication

Creator:

Pelatt, Brian D.

Abstract:

Interest in nanomaterials is motivated partly by their potential for sensor arrays to detect different gases. Nanowires in particular are of interest because their high surface-to-volume ratio promises the possibility of high sensitivity. However, because of their discrete quasi-one-dimensional geometry, electrical integration of nanowires into photolithographically defined devices and circuits...
