Zusammenfassung: | In this paper, we report the design and characteristics of a field-ionization gas sensor based on freestanding silicon nano structures. Silicon nanostructures fabricated using a three-step chemical/electrochemical technique on silicon wafer were placed between two parallel plates separated by a small gap. The sensor works based on the field ionization tunneling effect. For the first time, it is shown that silicon nanostructures can be used for the purpose. The device was tested for Ar, N 2 , O 2 , and He gases in a pressure range of 0.01 |
