Abstract

Pd-doped SnO2 thin films for hydrogen gas sensing were fabricated by reactive fo magnetron sputtering and were studied on effects of film thickness and Pd doping content. Pd doping caused the optimum sensor operation temperature to reduce down to ~25$0^{\circ}C$ and also enhanced gas sensitivity, compared with undoped SnO2 film. Gas sensitivity depended on the film thickness. The sensitivity increased with decreasing the film thickness, showing maximum sensitivities at the thickness of 730$\AA$ and 300~400$\AA$ for the undoped SnO2 and the Pd-doped SnO2 film, respectively. Further decrease of the film thickness beyond these thickness ranges, however, resulted in the reduction of sensitivity again.
