This paper reports on the integration of zinc oxide nanowires (ZnO NWs) with a silicon on insulator (SOI) CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) micro-hotplate for use as an alcohol sensor. The micro-hotplates consist of a silicon resistive micro-heater embedded within a membrane (composed of silicon oxide and silicon nitride, supported on a silicon substrate) and gold bump bonded aluminum electrodes that are used to make an ohmic contact with the sensing material. ZnO NWs were grown by a simple, low-cost hydrothermal method and characterised using SEM, XRD and photoluminiscence methods. The chemical sensitivity of the on-chip NWs to ethanol vapour (at different humidity levels) was characterised at two different temperatures namely, 300 degrees C and 400 degrees C (power consumption was 24 mW and 33 mW, respectively), and the sensitivity was found to be 0.1%/ppm (response 4.7 at 4363 ppm). These results show that ZnO NWs are a promising material for use as a CMOS ethanol gas sensor that offers low cost, low power consumption and integrated circuitry.

ZnO Nanorods as Antireflective Coatings for Industrial-Scale Single-Crystalline Silicon Solar Cells
AURANG, Pantea; Demircioglu, Olgu; ES, FIRAT; Turan, Raşit; Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah (Wiley, 2013-04-01)
In this work, both planar and textured, industrial scale (156mmx156mm) single-crystalline silicon (Si) solar cells have been fabricated using zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods as antireflection coating (ARC). ZnO nanorods were grown in a few minutes via hydrothermal method within a commercially available microwave oven. Relative improvement in excess of 65% in the reflectivity was observed for both planar and textured Si surfaces. Through ZnO nanorods, effective lifetime (eff) measurements were presented to investi...
ZnO quantum dots-graphene composites: Formation mechanism and enhanced photocatalytic activity for degradation of methyl orange dye
Tayyebi, Ahmad; Outokesh, Mohammad; Tayebi, Meysam; Shafikhani, Azizollah; Şengör, Sema Sevinç (2016-04-01)
The current study demonstrates homogenous decorating of zinc oxide quantum dots (QDs) onto graphene oxide (GO) surface via simple chemical method. The AFM image exhibited that the prepared graphene was 0.8 nm thick and hence practically monolayer. Average size of the ZnO QDs was estimated by transmission electron microscopy around 3 nm. Instrumental and chemical analyses demonstrated formation of a strong bond between ZnO QDs and GO, through C-O-Zn and C-Zn bridges. The UV-visible spectra displayed that the...
A low-power robust humidity sensor in a standard CMOS process
Okcan, Burak; Akın, Tayfun (2007-11-01)
This paper presents a low-cost thermal-conductivity-based humidity sensor implemented using a 0.6-mu m CMOS process, where suspended p-n junction diodes are used as the humidity-sensitive elements. The measurement method uses the difference between the thermal conductivities of air and water vapor at high temperatures by comparing the output voltages of two hea ted and thermally isolated diodes; one of which is exposed to the environment and has a humidity-dependent thermal conductance, while the other is s...
ZnO Nanowire and WS2 Nanotube Electronics
Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah; et. al. (2008-11-01)
In this paper, we report on the synthesis and applications of semiconducting nanostructures. Nanostructures of interest were zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires and tungsten disulfide (WS2) nanotubes where transistors/phototransistors and photovoltaic (PV) energy conversion cells have been fabricated. ZnO nanowires were grown with both high- and low-temperature approaches, depending on the application. Individual ZnO nanowire side-gated transistors revealed excellent performance with a field-effect mobility of 928 c...
Structural vibration analysis of single walled carbon nanotubes with atom-vacancies
Doğan, İbrahim Onur; Yazıcıoğlu, Yiğit; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2010)
Recent investigations in nanotechnology show that carbon nanotubes (CNT) have one of the most significant mechanical, electrical and optical properties. Interactions between those areas like electrical, optical and mechanical properties are also very promising in both research and industrial fields. Those unique characteristics are built by mainly the atomistic structure of the carbon nanotubes. In this thesis, the effects of vacant atoms on single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) are investigated using matr...
