本實驗室長久以來都以發展各類的微型感測元件為至上的目標,包 括過去的葡萄糖感測元件、以氧化銥為基礎的二氧化碳感測器、三氧 化鎢與氧化銥二極體之 pH 值感測器….等。在上述的眾多元件中,其 製作過程應用了半導體的製程技術來製造我們的微電極晶片,並利用 剝落製程(lift-off)及 RF 濺鍍系統來濺鍍我們所要的薄膜種類,有了這 些技術當後盾,我們才能夠使元件順利的被製作出來。
我們將三氧化鎢及氧化銥薄膜製成的二極體元件,在沒有外加液態 或固態電解質來提供氫離子注入的條件環境下,元件還是可以順利工 作。而其中氫離子的主要來源是氧化銥薄膜所提供的,原因為濺鍍氧 化銥過程中電漿將水分子打成氫離子而夾層在薄膜內,如此,元件中 就有足夠的氫離子可以與電子進行雙重載入(double injection)的氧化 還原反應機制,也就是說電子與氫離子是一對一形式反應的,而我們 更進一步實驗發現元件產生的電流主要是由氫離子濃度的擴散所主 控。
而本元件除了不需外加液態電解質這項優點外,還可以把它當作溫 度感測器來使用,因其工作的溫度範圍可從-90℃~120℃間,在此範 圍內其工作情況非常的穩定,除此之外,本元件在此溫度範圍內還有 極佳的重複記憶性質。綜合而言,本元件的優點為封裝容易、有較長 的壽命、重複性高、穩定性佳、可微型化….等。而目前我們遭遇到 的難題為顯影時間較難拿捏而造成顯影液把三氧化鎢薄膜蝕刻,造成 薄膜損壞,若能將上述問題改善,則元件的運用性就會較為廣泛。
關於未來展望部分,因為此元件的電流負載量可達到數百μA 等 級,而由於能量守衡的關係,我們研判部分能量會以光的型態釋出,
所以我們可將元件照光譜儀,分析探討其釋放出來的光波長,並觀察 是否會有光電流的產生或能階的躍升,於是我們就可發展出一個光電 元件感測器。
