Abstract

This paper describes a CMOS compatible integrated gas sensor. The device was designed so that the front-end fabrication is fully compatible with the standard CMOS process. The non-CMOS compatible fabrication steps were carried out as post-processing steps. This included the silicon anisotropic etch to create the thermally isolated micro-hotplate (MHP) and the deposition of gas-sensitive thin films using maskless r.f. SnO2 sputtering. The sensors exhibited high sensitivities to gases, such as ethanol and hydrogen.
