Abstract

ABSTRACT: The proposed work discusses different parameters which are considered to improve the performance of a tin oxide-based thin film gas sensor. This includes analysing and deducing suitable catalytic additives to enhance the performance of the sensor in terms of selectivity and sensitivity. Chemical sensitization and electronic sensitization are performed to improve the rate of response of the sensor.
