Different sensing currents are generated by exposure to different gases, and the sensing component has self-recovering sensing capability, and After repeating the sensing cycle of 5 times, there is still a fairly good sense of φ measurement. At present, there are quite a lot of researches on the use of carbon nanotubes as sensing elements. Gases that have been confirmed to be detectable by carbon nanotubes include NHs, C〇2, 〇2, N〇2, CH4, H2, N2, Ar. , CO, NO, He, SFe, methanol (Methanol), ethanol (ugly 311〇1), organic insecticide (0 "Jiao 811 (^11 (^11〇1'118 pesticides), etc." Carbon sensing gas sensing principle The gas sensing theoretical model has been studied for many years, mainly based on agglomerated semiconductor spheres, and the current between the agglomerations is calculated by heat radiation and carrier penetration. Surface electron density represents adsorption. The chemical state of the gas, while the width of the depletion layer is based on the calculation of the steep junction model, and considers the uniform surface state of the semiconductor energy band. The sensitivity is derived by the logarithm of the surface density conductivity. Gas 9 200814967 * Body _ turn is chemisorption The effect of the transfer of electrons at different positions of the heterogeneous change, the most commonly used model is the qualitative analysis of the particles adsorbed by the particles, in which the transfer of the charge causing the conduction of electrons between the gas and the solid (the donor or Receptor). Metal oxides | | towels, due to the presence of oxygen or reducing the background gas in the environment, etc., will produce very clear _ electronic conductivity changes. This can not be just a separate interpretation of the conduction electron concentration change, Langshi Considering the change of the potential energy barrier formed by the donor or acceptor at its boundary, controlling the electron flow between the (4) conjugates, and when the N-type semiconductor oxide is exposed to the reducing gas at % The adsorbed oxygen is gradually consumed with the reductive reaction. The reduction of oxygen ions on the surface of the rotating oxide causes the oxygen-trapped electrons to return to the crystal grains, which leads to a decrease in the energy barrier height. That is, the resistance is lowered. When the gas to be tested is in contact with the semiconductor, the energy level is changed, and the electron moves from the high Fermi level region (the region near the semiconductor surface) to the low Fermi level region (surface state charge). The knife is separated to form a double-layered dragon, increasing the surface energy (including Ees and Evs). When the double-layer voltage is large enough to make the Fermi level (4) of the entire system a constant, it is balanced. The movement of the band near the surface is called “bandbending.” This phenomenon is used to indicate that the gas is adsorbed on the die and the state of the wire surface changes.

Alternating current dielectrophoresis of carbon nanotubes,> J. Appl. Phys" Vol. 98, 056103, 2005), it can be confirmed that the carbon nanotube solution is not only more favorable for subsequent dielectrophoresis after being treated by these methods ( Dielectrophoresis (DEP) force has a great opportunity to control only a single carbon nanotube to be fixed on a pad (Pad). In addition, since the semiconductor type carbon nanotube has a negative dielectric The dielectric conditions of NegativeDEP are more conducive to the application of fixed carbon nanotubes (Ralph Krnpke, Frank Hennrich, et. al.. "Separation of Metallic from semiconducting Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes" · Science, Vol. 301, p.344-347, 2003, July·), that is to say, it is possible to effectively separate the metal type from the semi-conducting carbon nanotube by using the control frequency of the control system and the electrode design. The solution is dropped on a bare metal pad (Pad) above the CMOS structure, applying a dielectrophoretic (DEP) force to manipulate the carbon nanotubes, and by adjusting the AC AC frequency, the AC-AC voltage (Peak-to-Peak voltage) The DC voltage is used to adjust the dielectrophoresis (DEP) force of the carbon nanotubes, and the impedance is added at the same time as the DEP force, using a device capable of applying a dielectrophoresis (DEP) signal. A lock-in amplifier that can perform Impedance measurement can be used to measure the impedance value to detect the number of carbon nanotubes fixed on the electrode. In addition, the positive and negative dielectrophoretic forces are used. The concept of 〇sitiveDEP, NegativeDEP) uses the AC frequency, the Peak-to-Peak voltage, and the DC voltage to adjust the excess or non-targeted number of carbon nanotubes on the electrode. Electrophoresis force (10) DEP) is excluded, and the signal frequency of the positive DEp force range is applied again until the required number of carbon nanotubes is reached, that is, the DEP force is maintained until the dielectric solution evaporates, and then blown in. Nitrogen gas is used to blow dry residual water on the surface. Therefore, with this method, the carbon nanotubes can be fixed on the CM〇s wafer by a low temperature post process without causing CMOS τ pieces due to the high-level problems described above.

The device of the present invention is at the nose end, compared to other hand-held or mosquito-type or wearable sensing methods, which are derived from the direct use of the human body, so that no additional air suction device is required, and the extraction environment can be effectively increased. Harmful gases and harmful biogas glue. 3. The device of the present invention is on the nasal end, and the other advantage is that it can be known whether there is a biogas gel transmitted through the breath, such as influenza virus or tuberculosis, and of course, a specific odor may also indicate a certain lesion. μ This system senses the accuracy of the sensing gas by sensing the gas by one or more of the resistance, dielectric constant, resonance frequency, electrical property, and breakdown voltage of the 4 mil carbon tube. 5. In the present invention, the semiconductor carbon nanotubes are assembled on a specific electric power by a dielectrophoretic force (10) FQree), and since the nanocarbon # and the circuit are recorded, the carbon nanotubes can be used for the carbon nanotubes. The carbon nanotubes are separated from the metal type and the semiconductor type, and the surface is modified (replaced) to increase the sensitivity and specificity of the gas sensing. , Xi = = = = - shop test people and wealth Wei bribes to install the age system, which can be produced by the standard 0S process, to achieve the feasibility of mass production. 、、、、···························································· [Example 1] Detection of changes in exhaled nitric oxide in the body The management of respiratory tract inflammation relies on proper monitoring and treatment to improve its long-lasting effect. However, the method of witnessing is ship-based, so it is quite difficult to achieve this goal. Although the nitric oxide (NO) has been identified as early as 200 years ago, the true recognition of its physiological importance was in the early 1980s. Xu Xi's research has established that NO is an in vivo system - a major message molecule. In addition, the study also shows that the change in exhaled NG is related to other markers of respiratory tract speech. Since the technique for measuring N〇 in exhaled gases is non-invasive, reproducible, sensitive, and easy to perform, changes in exhaled N〇 can be used to assist in the management of asthma (asthma) and other lung conditions. (Reference: Choi J, Hoffman LA, Rodway GW, Sethi JM. Markers of lung disease in exhaled breath: nitric oxide. Biological Research for Nursing 2006 Apr; 7(4): 241-55.) In a reflux of reflux and (3 · 1) in a mixture of sulfuric acid and nitric acid to remove carbon nanoparticles and produce a functional carbon-based tube, which is covered as tin dioxide, and then treated with this acid The carbon nanotubes were passed in a solution of 8 〇mL, 〇lm〇1/L tin(n) chloride, and 4 mL of hydrochloric acid was added, and the mixture was stirred for 30 minutes with ultrasonic vibration, and the product was transferred and Rinse the steaming water. In this way, the tin oxide nanoparticles are evenly coated on the carbon nanotubes and have a size of about 2-6 nm. Then, the surface-modified carbon nanotube is connected to the two electrodes by using DEP, and the components of the impedance type or the electro-optical or the surface-extracting method are completed. The operating principle: when the sensor is in the air, the oxygen molecules are absorbed onto the tin oxide grains, and the electrons are extracted from the tin oxide grains to become oxygen ions, so that the tin oxide grains are positively charged, and the barriers are Formed between tin oxide grains. Since the tin oxide nanocrystals are very small, there are many voids for gas absorption and reaction. When the sensor is placed in a helium gas, the oxidizing gas 17 200814967 body molecules are further adsorbed to the tin oxide to capture the smuggling, dices, wood particles, and extract electrons to form a higher barrier, so The impedance type of the sensor will increase its resistance to more than 4 times. However, when the sensor is placed in the air, the molecules of Ν0χ are released from the tin oxide crystals, and the electrons are also released. Release back, so subtract, the resistance returns to the original value in the air. Column (10) [Example 2] Detection of biogas gel Correction of the antibody on the carbon fiber surface, in the carbon nanotube transistor to detect the edge of the _ * biological particles to the surface of the carbon tube electrical changes. The /4 characteristic diagram is shown in the figure. The bare CNT represents the unmodified nanocarbon nanotube transistor. The oil _eg(10) 2 is recommended to be anti-enzyme-resistant carbon filament _transistor. After the antibody v^Th, the V characteristic curve has a tendency to shift to the left, and the gate threshold voltage g(reshold gate VQltage) also shifts from the county about 5V to the left to the position of ιν, which is due to the electron. Moving from egg to carbon red, resulting in translational shift of P-scales. Figure Sal. represents the crystal characteristic curve I after the surface of Salmonella is bonded to the surface of the carbon tube. It can be seen that before the junction with Salmonella, the current has The phenomenon of significant drop, and the gate threshold voltage Vg can be maintained at about lv. The change is due to the fact that when the antigen is combined with the surface of the carbon tube, the carbon tube diameter is distorted, so the mobility of the surface charge of the carbon tube is lowered, and the I-V characteristic curve is also decreased. Six = electric day, the source source is immersed with a bias voltage Vds of _5V, and a gate voltage of 5V is fixed, and the current change is shown in Fig. 6 as the system of the transistor (4). Originally applied to the transistor of the Neigu tube: 5V^VdS bias and -5V gate bias, the transistor maintains a current of 8 x 101, when the PBS buffer / liquid network between the two electrodes will be due to the surface The tension type is formed—the water bead is coated on the carbon nanotubes—the instantaneous current on the droplets will have a sudden wave phenomenon, and then the current will return to maintain a steady current of about t, 10 A, and then, The PBS mixed solution of Salmonella mixed on the droplets showed a significant decrease in the current, and returned to a steady state when it dropped to about 1·4 X 10_6A, and then added to other types of cells (Pseudomonas aeruginosa). In the buffer solution, the current does not produce a reaction of 18 200814967. Therefore, through the experiment of m signal, it was found that when the reaction of Salmonella with the antibody reacted, the conductivity of the carbon nanotubes decreased significantly. The above-mentioned Salmonella can be changed to influenza virus, and the related antibodies are also replaced, and it can be applied to the detection of influenza virus transmitted in the air. [Embodiment 3] Detection of changes in exhaled acetone in vivo Figure 7 shows that acetone can be effectively measured by using a single-stranded carbon nanotube in combination with a carbon nanotube field effect transistor. When purifying and separating the carbon nanotubes, the carbon nanotubes are placed in the SDS solution, so that the nanocarbon=the outer circumference is wrapped with the SDS; however, when the carbon nanotubes wrapped with the SDS are attached to the _, = stone When the back tube is in contact with the electrode metal, it will definitely be affected by the SDS. Therefore, removing the SDS outside the carbon tube is the key to optimizing the characteristics of the element. " Ding ^ completed the measurement of the adhesion of the carbon nanotubes, the measurement of the /^-匕 characteristics and the removal of the SDS, and the good characteristics of the (3) Su can be given to the domain test II. The town will be well fed. The characteristic CNTFET senses DNA and acetone and measures its electrical changes. As shown in Figure 7, cntfet is used as a biosensory ssDNA and a gas sensor (acetone).

Figure 7 (4) shows the instantaneous sensing of acetone on the surface-modified cntfet sensor. It can be seen that the present invention has an extremely sensitive reaction and a high signal-to-noise ratio.
