Abstract

Thin-film humidity sensor which TiO2, ZrO2, or CeO2 was added to MgCr2O4-based materials, respectively, were fabricated on the alumina substrate by using a resistant-heating evaporator. Thin films were approximately 2${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in grain size and shwoed porous microstructures. The resistance of the sensor decreased with increasing the relative humidity and the MgCr2O4-TiO2 sensor had the best humidity-sensing characteristics (linearity in relative humidity versus resistance).
