For different gas sensing, the preparation of Zinc Oxide (ZnO) thin film gas sensor has its particularity. In this paper, three kinds of preparation methods, fitting for CO and methane and CO2 sensing, are introduced. Moreover, the sensitivity is respectively analyzed as gas sensors. The reference is provided for the preparation and applications of ZnO thin film gas sensor.

High quality ZnO thin films are required to produce CMOS SAW resonators operating with low losses and high Q. This work intends to develop high performance CMOS SAW resonators through optimization of both the quality of the ZnO and the design of the SAW resonator. Zinc oxide was chosen for this work as the piezoelectric material due to its superior acoustic propagation properties and compatibility with integrated circuit fabrication techniques. ZnO has demonstrated good performance characteristics for a variety of piezoelectric devices. For optimization of the quality of the deposited ZnO thin film, different RF-sputtering conditions will be used to investigate which condition produces the best piezoelectric quality of the ZnO thin film. The experiments were carried using Taguchi optimization method, which studies a large number of variables with a small number of experiments.

The properties of zinc oxide thin films were prepared by sol-gel spin-coating method have been presented. This study based on optical and electrical properties of ZnO thin film. The effects of annealing temperatures that exposed with two environments properties have been investigated. Environments exposed in room (27°C) and hot (80°C) temperatures which are stored by various days. Solution preparation, thin film deposition and characterization process were involved in this project. The ZnO films were characterized using UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometer for optical properties. From that equipment, the percentage of transmittance (%) and absorption coefficient spectra were obtained. With two environments showed have different absorption coefficient are reveal and all films have low absorbance in visible and near infrared (IR) region but have high UV absorption properties. From SEM investigations the surface morphology of ZnO thin film shows the particles size become smaller and denser in hot temperatures while in room temperatures have porosity between particles.

In this paper, silver (Ag)doped Zinc Oxide(ZnO) thin films were prepared on glass and silicon substrate by using a thermionic vacuum arc technique. The surface, structural, optical characteristics of silver doped thin films have been examined by X-Ray diffractometer (XRD), field emission scanning emission electron microscopy (FESEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and UV-Visible spectrophotometer. As a result of these measurements, Ag, Zn and ZnO reflection planes were determined for thin films formed on Si and glass substrate. Nano crystallites have emerged in FESEM and AFM images. The produced films have low transparency. The optical band gap values were measured by photoluminescence devices at room temperature for thin films produced on silicon and glass substrate. The band gap values are very close to 3.10 eV for Ag doped ZnO thin films. The band gap of un-doped ZnO thin film is approximately 3.3 eV. It was identified that Ag doped changes the properties of the ZnO thin film.

ABSTRACTSensitivity tests to reductive gases such as methane, hydrogen and ethane were performed on zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films. The highest value of sensitivity was obtained for the film with a high electrical resistivity and a low thickness. The variation of the operating temperature of the film leads to a significant change in the sensitivity of the sensor with an ideal operating temperature dependence of the gas used. The sensitivity of the ZnO thin films changes linear with the increase of the gas concentration. However these films seem to be more appropriated for the detection of hydrogen following by methane and than for ethane since the value of sensitivity obtained are higher and its variation with the gas concentration more pronounced.

Undoped and halogen-doped zinc oxide thin films are prepared by the thermal oxidation process. Zinc acetate dihydrate, ethanol, and Diethanolamine are used as precursor, solvent, and stabilizer, respectively. In the case of ZnO:Hal. dopant Ammonium chloride NH4Cl 99%, Benzene Bromide C6H5Br, or Benzene Iodide C6H5I for making dopant ZnO thin film with Cl, Br, I respectively is added to the precursor solution with an atomic percentage equal to 2-10.% hal. The transparent solution sprayed onto glass substrates, and are transformed into ZnO upon annealing at 500°C. XRD spectra of ZnO thin films, and optical properties of them as a function of halogen content have been investigated using U.V spectroscopy ( transmittance , refractive index, extinction coefficient and energy band gap ) for undoped and halogen-doped zinc oxide thin films.
