Abstract: | Undoped nanocrystalline n-ZnO thin films were deposited by a novel galvanic technique at room temperature on p-Si 〈100 〉 substrates
to fabricate ZnO–Si heterojunctions. The I–V characteristics were studied at different temperatures with two different metallic contacts e.g., gold and palladium–silver
(26%), in air and in presence of different concentrations (0.1, 0.5 and 1%) of methane gas. A shift in I–V characteristics in presence of methane was observed. The sensitivity and response time were studied at different temperatures
(30 through 350 °C). Pd–Ag (26%) catalytic contacts showed much improved sensor performance. |
