An Integrated Chemical Sensor Array Using Carbon Black Polymers and a Standard Cmos Process
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have developed a new chemical sensor array by combining polymer-based chemiresistors with a standard integrated circuit technology. We fabricated an array of addressable chemical sensor sites in a CMOS process, and then performed a post-processing step of electroless gold to create sensor contacts. We create sensors by spraying a mixture of nonconductive polymers and carbon black particles onto the sensor sites. We demonstrate that an array of diverse chemical sensors can perform discrimination of odors.

An electronic nose that uses an array of 32 polymer-carbon black composite sensors has been developed, trained, and tested. By selecting a variety of chemical functionalities in the polymers used to make sensors, it is possible to construct an array capable of identifying and quantifying a broad range of target compounds, such as alcohols and aromatics, and distinguishing isomers and enantiomer...
متن کاملMiniature Electronic Nose System Based on Polymer/carbon Black Films
Introduction The ability to monitor and detect various chemical gases is important to many applications. One example is environmental monitoring, such as determining the air quality inside a room or closed chamber and detecting the presence and concentration of toxic or otherwise dangerous gases that may come from spills and leaks [1]. Monitoring and determining the constituents of a sample gas...
متن کاملArray-Based Vapor Sensing Using - Chemically Sensitive, Polymer Composite Resistors
We describe herein the construction of simple, low-power, broadly responsive vapor sensors. Insulating polymer-conductor composites have been shown to swell reversibly upon exposure to vapors. Thin films of polymer composites have been deposited across two metallic leads, with swelling-induced resistance changes of the films signaling the presence of vapors. To identify and classify vapors, arr...

Polarization sensing is one of the important optical measurement scheme used in various scientific and industrial applications. For instance, an optical rotation measurement is widely used to measure chirality of chemical species. The polarization of light is modulated when the light propagates the optically active material such as saccharide or protein. Polarization rotation reflects concentra...
