Abstract In this study, porous silicon (PSi) was used to manufacture gas sensors for acetone and ethanol. Samples of PSi were successfully prepared by photoelectrochemical etching and applied as an acetone and ethanol gas sensor at room temperature at various current densities J= 12, 24 and 30 mA/cm2 with an etching time of 10 min and hydrofluoric acid concentration of 40%. Well-ordered n-type PSi (100) was carefully studied for its chemical composition, surface structure and bond configuration of the surface via X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and photoluminescence tests. Results showed that the best sensitivity of PSi was to acetone gas than to ethanol under the same conditions at an etching current density of 30 mA/cm2, reaching about 2.413 at a concentration of 500 parts per million. The PSi layers served as low-cost and high-quality acetone gas sensors. Thus, PSi can be used to replace expensive materials used in gas sensors that function at low temperatures, including room temperature. The material has an exceptionally high surface-to-volume ratio (increasing surface area) and demonstrates ease of fabrication and compatibility with manufacturing processes of silicon microelectronics.

AbstractNanopore covered microporous silicon conductometric gas sensors have been produced via electrochemical etching and standard microfabrication techniques. Reversible and sensitive gas sensors working at room temperature have been fabricated. Sensing of NH3, NOx and PH3 at or below the ppm level have been achieved. The porous silicon (PS) surface has been modified using selective coatings including electroless tin, gold, nickel and copper solutions to increase the response to NOx, NH3, and PH3 respectively. The diffusion of the analyte species has been investigated in the nanopore and micropore regimes by numerical analysis. Comparing the response time of the hybrid porous sensor surface with numerical diffusion calculations on the pores, it has been observed that Knudsen diffusion time scales dominate the sensor response. A transduction model is proposed based on nanopore limited gas diffusion and the experimental response and recovery data.
