研究目的
To develop a nanoscale and embeddable subzero temperature sensor using a temperature-dependent titanium-oxide based metal-insulator-transition (MIT) device.
研究成果
The titanium-oxide based MIT device demonstrates reliable and reversible MIT deformation characteristics at subzero temperatures, making it suitable for nanoscale and embeddable temperature sensors. The sensor shows high-linearity and proper sensitivity, indicating its potential for practical applications in electronic systems.
研究不足
The study focuses on subzero temperature sensing, and the sensor's performance at higher temperatures is not explored. The scalability and integration into more complex systems require further investigation.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employs a simple two-terminal structured MIT switching device for temperature sensing. The MIT device's characteristics change from abrupt to gradual MIT under zero temperature, enabling temperature detection.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
A titanium-oxide based temperature sensor with a triple layer (TiO2/TixOy/Ta) was fabricated into a via-hole structure on a silicon substrate.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
A semiconductor parameter analyzer (Agilent B1500) was used for measuring electrical characteristics. Materials include Ti, Pt, SiO2, TiO2, TixOy, Ta, and TiN layers.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The fabrication involved deposition of layers, patterning, and annealing. The electroforming process was conducted by applying external bias. Temperature sensing was evaluated from 0 °C to -40 °C.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The temperature-dependent electrical properties were analyzed, focusing on MIT deformation characteristics and current levels at fixed operating voltages.
