研究目的
To study the effect of polar and non-polar vapors on porous silicon gas sensors and demonstrate selective gas sensing using impedance measurements and frequency dispersion of capacitance.
研究成果
The study successfully demonstrated selective gas sensing using porous silicon by analyzing frequency dispersion of capacitance and response times. Different gases produce unique signatures in capacitance and dispersion curves, enabling discrimination with a single sensor. Proposed parameters (η and δ) simplify gas selection, though temperature and humidity effects need to be managed in practical applications.
研究不足
The sensor's response is affected by temperature changes and humidity, requiring calibration at different temperatures. The masking effect of humidity is more significant for non-polar vapors, and the nature of certain response features (e.g., capacitance maximum for non-polar vapors) is not fully understood.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved electrochemical etching to prepare porous silicon, followed by impedance measurements in the frequency range 10^3 to 10^5 Hz to characterize the sensor's response to different vapors. A back-to-back diode model was used to interpret the electrical characteristics.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Porous silicon samples were fabricated from crystalline p-n structures. Vapors of methanol, acetonitrile, ethanol, chloroform, and toluene were generated by bubbling dry air through the liquids and diluting with dry air to concentrations of approximately 0.5P/P0, where P is vapor pressure and P0 is saturated vapor pressure.
3：5P/P0, where P is vapor pressure and P0 is saturated vapor pressure.

List of Experimental Equipment and Materials: Equipment included an electrochemical etching setup with hydrofluoric acid and ethoxyethanol electrolyte, SEM for imaging, sputtering system for aluminum contacts, and an impedance analyzer for AC measurements. Materials included crystalline silicon substrates, aluminum for contacts, InGa alloy for bottom contact, and the various organic liquids for vapor generation.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Porous silicon was prepared by electrochemical etching with specific current density and time. Contacts were sputtered, and devices were exposed to vapors. Impedance was measured at 100 mV AC and zero DC voltages, with data presented as parallel capacitance and conductance.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Data were analyzed by fitting current-voltage characteristics with a specific expression, and parameters such as capacitance change and frequency dispersion were used to distinguish gases. Statistical analysis involved comparing dispersion curves and response times.
