Nanostructured Zinc Oxide Thin Film Based Humidity Sensor Prepared by Sol-Gel Immersion Technique

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper focus on nanostructured Zinc Oxide (ZnO) thin film based humidity sensor prepared using sol-gel method immersion technique at different immersion time. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) investigations reveal nanorods ZnO were deposited on glass substrate with nanorods length increased with immersion time. All fabricated sensors show current intensity increment response when relative humidity is increased. Sensor fabricated at 16 hr immersion time shows the highest sensitivity in this study.
