NOx Microsensor

Sensor Electrode
Fabricated and packaged sensor electrode.
Detection Principle
Detection principle based on capacitance measurement.
Experimental Setup
Experimental sensor board for chemical testing.

 

Objective:

Development of a capacitive, highly selective NOx sensor and integration in a chemical health monitoring system.

 

ApProach:

  • Inter-digitated electrode to detect capacitance changes.
  • Deposited organic polymer films, highly selective to the target gas.
  • Packaging with embedded electronics to improve sensitivity and SN ratio.

Accomplishments:

  • Microfabricated electrode array and wirebonded package.
  • Completed gas sensor testing infrastructure with PPB-levels gas mixing and flow control system.
  • COTS sensor testing for sensitivity and selectivity characterization and benchmarking.
