Improving the selectivity of gas sensors is crucial for their further development. One effective route to enhance this key property of sensors is the use of selective nanomembrane materials. This work aims to present how metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and thin films prepared by atomic layer deposition (ALD) can be applied as nanomembranes to separate different gases, and hence improve the selectivity of gas sensing devices. First, the fundamentals of the mechanisms and configuration of gas sensors will be given. A selected list of studies will then be presented to illustrate how MOFs and ALD materials can be implemented as nanomembranes and how they can be implemented to improve the operational performance of gas sensing devices. This review comprehensively shows the benefits of these novel selective nanomaterials and opens prospects for the sensing community.

Conductive Thin Films

This work characterizes the mechanical and opto-electric properties of Aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO) thin films deposited by atomic layer deposition (ALD), where various depositing temperature, 100, 125, 150, 175, and 200 °C are considered. The transmittance, microstructure, electric resistivity, adhesion, hardness, and Young’s modulus of the deposited thin films are tested by using spectrophotometer, X-ray diffraction, Hall effect analyzer, micro scratch, and nanoindentation, respectively. The results show that the AZO thin film deposited at 200 °C behaves the best electric properties, where its resistance, Carrier Concentration and mobility reach 4.3×10-4 Ωcm, 2.4×1020 cm-3, and 60.4 cm2V-1s-1, respectively. Furthermore, microstructure of the AZO films deposited by ALD is much better than those deposited by sputtering.

Ferroelectric Hysteresis

Pyroelectric infrared sensors are often based on lead-containing materials, which are harmful to the environment and subject to governmental restrictions. Ferroelectric Hf1−xZrxO2 thin films offer an environmentally friendly alternative. Additionally, CMOS integration allows for integrated sensor circuits, enabling scalable and cost-effective applications. In this work, we demonstrate the deposition of pyroelectric thin films on area-enhanced structured substrates via thermal atomic layer deposition. Scanning electron microscopy indicates a conformal deposition of the pyroelectric film in the holes with a diameter of 500 nm and a depth of 8 μm. By using TiN electrodes and photolithography, capacitor structures are formed, which are contacted via the electrically conductive substrate. Ferroelectric hysteresis measurements indicate a sizable remanent polarization of up to 331 μC cm−2, which corresponds to an area increase of up to 15 by the nanostructured substrate. For pyroelectric analysis, a sinusoidal temperature oscillation is applied to the sample. Simultaneously, the pyroelectric current is monitored. By assessing the phase of the measured current profile, the pyroelectric origin of the signal is confirmed. The devices show sizable pyroelectric coefficients of −475 μC m−2 K−1, which is larger than that of lead zirconate titanate (PZT). Based on the experimental evidence, we propose Hf1−xZrxO2 as a promising material for future pyroelectric applications.
