EXHAUST ELECTRODE PROCESS FOR EXHAUST GAS OXYGEN SENSOR

C-3,105 A method of sputtering a platinum exhaust gas electrode onto a vitrified zirconia thimble for an electrochemical-type exhaust gas oxygen sensor. Porous high surface area platinum films are deposited that have more consistent properties. A platinum target is spaced about 3.0 - 4.5 cm from the...

Zusammenfassung:C-3,105 A method of sputtering a platinum exhaust gas electrode onto a vitrified zirconia thimble for an electrochemical-type exhaust gas oxygen sensor. Porous high surface area platinum films are deposited that have more consistent properties. A platinum target is spaced about 3.0 - 4.5 cm from the thimble and more than 6 cm from the sputtering anode. A pressure of about 10 - 20 millitorr is used during sputtering at a DC power of about 13 - 22 watts/cm2 of target area.
