Development of advanced nanotechnology process for sensing materials

Nanotechnology is set to revolutionize the conventional “top-down” manufacturing approach with a new class of materials termed as nanostructured materials. This new class of materials, often characterized by a physical dimension of 1 to 100 nm in at least one dimension and the presence of very high...

Development of advanced nanotechnology process for sensing materials
description Nanotechnology is set to revolutionize the conventional “top-down” manufacturing approach with a new class of materials termed as nanostructured materials. This new class of materials, often characterized by a physical dimension of 1 to 100 nm in at least one dimension and the presence of very high surface area, has found potential application in many areas such as electronics, magnetism, optics, energy storage, electrochemistry and biomedical sciences. The controlled synthesis of nanostructured materials is vital to the success of nanotechnology where various synthesis methods have since been introduced. In this project, we propose a custom-designed inductively coupled plasma chemical vapor deposition (ICP-CVD) system as an alternative manufacturing approach for nanostructured materials. Tin oxide, one of the most studied n-type semiconductors used in the field of gas sensing was chosen as the coating material to establish the promise of the ICP-CVD system.
