Tungsten-Based Cost-Effective Gas Sensors for H<sub>2</sub>S Detection
Tungsten trioxide thin films were deposited on silicon substrates by non-reactive RF sputtering from a WO<sub>3</sub> target at room temperature. The WO<sub>3</sub> films were post-annealed at two different temperatures, 400 °C and 500 °C. The morphological and microstructura...

Tungsten trioxide thin films were deposited on silicon substrates by non-reactive RF sputtering from a WO<sub>3</sub> target at room temperature.

The morphological and microstructural properties of these films were analyzed by using atomic force microscopy and X-ray diffraction. X-ray diffraction patterns only show WO<sub>3</sub> oxide phases. The AFM images show different morphologies with smaller grains for the film annealed at 400 °C. WO<sub>3</sub> sensing films and W heating elements were embedded in commercial cases for the fabrication of cost-effective gas sensors. The sensitivity and dynamic response of the sensors were analyzed under various concentrations of H<sub>2</sub>S, from 20 to 100 ppm, at SIMTRONICS SAS (3M Company, Saint Paul, MN, USA).
