How To Fabricate ZnO Gas Sensor Using Near-Field Electrospray

In addition, a thin-film ZnO gas sensor was fabricated by using near-field electrospray, as shown in Fig. 9.8. Comb electrodes with a large contact area were printed to increase the sensitivity of micro/nanosensors. The electrospray micro/nanoparticles were deposited over the electrodes, which would be heated and oxidized to form a ZnO semiconductor at 500℃ afterward. The experimental results showed that the fabricated sensor displays high sensitivity because of the small diameter and high specific surface area of the electrospray particles, indicating a new promising method for the integration fabrication of micro/nanodevices.

MEMS devices are now used in many of engineering applications. To provide maximum applications of devices, more precise materials are required to design the devices. As micromachining processes are technology dependant so materials should be selected with proper research. Silicon is most suitable material for micromachining processes, so maximum of silicon compounds are used to fabricate MEMS devices. Research is ongoing with experimentation of other application specific materials. MEMS-VLSI integration adds another application field in MEMS industry. More materials are now required to design devices with MEMS-VLSI integration.

A new way to make microsensors can revolutionize the future of electronics

A new way to make microsensors can revolutionize the future of electronics

Researchers have found a way to improve the performance of tiny sensors that could have wide reaching implications for electronic devices we use every day.

The study finds a more reliable way to use actuators that control MEMS microelectromechanical systems, which are microscopic devices with moving parts that are often produced in the same way as electronics.

New biodegradable microsensors for food monitoring

A new generation of microsensors could provide the vital link between food products and the internet of things. ETH Zurich researchers have developed an ultra-thin temperature sensor that is both biocompatible and biodegradable.

Magnesium wire and compostable polymer

A team of researchers led by Giovanni Salvatore, post-doc in the Electronics Laboratory, has been working with scientists from other ETH institutes on the development of biodegradable microsensors for temperature measurement.

The findings are reported in the journal Advanced Functional Materials.

The biocompatible microsensors are created by encapsulating a superfine, tightly wound electrical filament made of magnesium, silicon dioxide and nitride in a compostable polymer. Magnesium is an important component of our diet, while silicon dioxide and nitride are biocompatible and dissolvable in water. The polymer in question is produced from corn and potato starch, and its composition complies with EU and US foodstuff legislation.

Giovanni Salvatore, a postdoctoral researcher working in professor Troster’s group, is convinced that these biodegradable microsensors have a bright future. As an example, he cites one potential application:

“In preparation for transport to Europe, fish from Japan could be fitted with tiny temperature sensors, allowing them to be continuously monitored to ensure they are kept at a cool enough temperature.” This requires sensors that are suitable for use in foodstuffs and are no threat to consumer health. The sensors also need to be small, robust and flexible enough to survive in containers full of fish or other food products.

Thinner than a single hair filament

The sensor developed by researchers is only 16 micrometres thick, making it much thinner than a human hair (100 micrometres), and – being only a few millimetres in length – weighs no more than a fraction of a milligram. In its current form, the sensor dissolves completely in a one-percent saline solution over the course of 67 days. At present, the sensor continues to function for one day when completely submersed in water. This time would be sufficient to monitor a shipment of fish from Japan to Europe.

“But it’s relatively easy to extend the operating life by adjusting the thickness of the polymer,” Salvatore said. A thicker sensor would be less flexible, however. The current sensor is so thin that it continues to function even if it is completely crumpled or folded. Even when stretched by around 10 percent of its original size, the sensor remains intact.

For the power supply, researchers have connected the sensor to an external micro battery using ultra-thin, biodegradable zinc cables. On the same (non-biodegradable) chip there is a microprocessor and a transmitter that sends the temperature data via Bluetooth to an external computer. This makes it possible to monitor the temperature of a product over a range of 10 to 20 meters.
