Description
The present invention relates to a large area gas sensor and a method of manufacturing the same, and more particularly, to a large area gas sensor formed on a flexible substrate and a method of manufacturing the same.
With the recent increase in environmental pollution and health concern, the need for detection of various harmful gases is greatly increased. As a result, there is a great need for a device or device capable of effectively detecting a noxious gas.

In the conventional gas sensor having the structure of FIG. 1, a rigid substrate having electrical insulation properties, such as Al 2 O 3 , MgO, or SiO 2 / Si, is commonly used as the
However, when manufacturing a sensor by selecting a flexible substrate vulnerable to high temperature, such as plastic, there is a limitation of heat treatment. For example, when the oxide deposition proceeds at room temperature, the oxide film on the substrate is amorphous. Amorphous oxides have very low gas sensitivity, so they must be obtained through crystallization. The formation of crystalline oxide requires heat treatment at a temperature above the glass transition temperature (approximately 200 ° C.) of the plastic substrate. However, when the crystallization heat treatment temperature is performed above the glass transition temperature, the flexible substrate is severely damaged.
In order to overcome such limitations, there is a need for a technique capable of instantaneously performing local heat treatment on the region where oxides are deposited instead of the entire heating of the substrate or protecting the flexible substrate during heat treatment.
In addition, oxide deposition should be carried out below the glass transition temperature, and large-area oxide deposition should be easy to increase the process yield. Flexible substrates are not limited to plastics but also include metal foils.
Accordingly, the present inventors have found that a gas sensor can be manufactured without damaging the flexible substrate when the gas-sensing oxide is deposited by a low temperature process and then subjected to an instant heat treatment for crystallization, thereby completing the present invention.
The first technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an oxide gas sensor fabricated on a large area flexible substrate.
The second technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing an oxide gas sensor on the flexible substrate without damaging the substrate.

It provides a method of manufacturing a gas sensor comprising the step of heat-treating the oxide sensing layer.
In the method of manufacturing a gas sensor according to the present invention, the double buffer layer is formed by sputtering, pulsed laser deposition, atomic layer deposition, or the like at room temperature. Specifically, the double buffer layer forming step includes: i) forming an amorphous silicon layer on the flexible substrate. And ii) forming an inorganic insulating film on the amorphous silicon layer.
In the method of manufacturing a gas sensor according to the present invention, the oxide sensing layer is formed by selecting a semiconductor oxide from the group consisting of sputtering, pulsed laser deposition, atomic layer deposition, and electrospinning deposition, and the oxide sensing layer Heat treatment by laser exposure is preferred, and the type of laser is selected from the group consisting of ArF (wavelength = 193 nm), KrF (wavelength = 248 nm), XeBr (wavelength = 282 nm) and XeCl (wavelength = 308 nm). It is preferable to be.
Oxide gas sensor and its manufacturing method according to the present invention has the following effects.
First, it is possible to freely apply the sensor to the curvature mounting surface using a flexible substrate.
Second, by applying the atomic layer deposition method and laser exposure heat treatment, it is possible to deposit and heat the large-area oxide sensing film below the glass transition temperature.
Third, mass production of gas sensors in the form of an array on a large area can reduce manufacturing costs.
Fourth, the contact resistance between the electrode and the oxide sensing film can be reduced by applying an atomic layer deposition method having excellent surface and shape covering properties when depositing the oxide sensing film.
Fifth, it is possible to prevent damage to the flexible substrate during laser exposure by applying a double layer buffer film.
Sixth, it is possible to secure a probe without contamination.
Seventh, by using an inexpensive plastic substrate instead of the existing expensive alumina substrate, it is possible to reduce the cost of the substrate.

The nanoporous body can be formed by combining a colloidal template method and an oxide deposition method. That is, the nanoporous body can be formed by forming a template and then depositing an oxide on the template by a room temperature deposition method and then removing the template through a heat treatment process. The diameter of the polymer beads used in the colloidal template is preferably in the range of 200 to 800mm.
Nanofibers can be formed using an electrospinning apparatus. That is, when the oxide forming precursor solution is spun through the spray nozzle of the electrospinning apparatus, as the electric field is applied to the spray nozzle, the oxide forming precursor solution is collected in the form of nanofibers on the grounded substrate while being radiated from the spray nozzle. In this case, the diameter of the spray nozzle is preferably in the range of 300 to 700mm. In this case, the collected fibers are organic-inorganic composite nanofibers, and inorganic nanooxide fibers may be formed by removing organic components through subsequent heat treatment.
Subsequently, the photoresist layer formed on the
Subsequently, the
The following empirical formula exists between the light absorption and the bandgap.
(Wavelength) (bandgap energy) = 12345.
Here, the wavelength and the bandgap energy have units of angstroms (A = 10 -10 m) and electron volts (eV), respectively. In order for the exposed light to be absorbed by the material, light having a wavelength shorter than the wavelength obtained by using the above equation must be used. Since the oxide for gas sensor according to the present invention has a bandgap energy of 3.3 to 3.5 eV, a wavelength of 352.7 to 374 nm can be obtained using the above equation.
Examples of lasers satisfying such absorption conditions include excimer laser groups such as ArF (wavelength = 193 nm), KrF (wavelength = 248 nm), XeBr (wavelength = 282 nm), and XeCl (wavelength = 308 nm). Therefore, in the laser heat treatment, it is preferable to select from the excimer laser group.
The heating effect in laser heat treatment is not only due to the laser absorption of the oxide film, but also in part to the laser absorption of the lower inorganic insulating film. Other laser energy is absorbed by the amorphous silicon layer, converted to heat, and consumed for crystallization, thereby effectively protecting the lower flexible substrate from damage due to laser exposure. The amorphous silicon layer may be partially crystallized.
