Abstract

The effect induced by the calcination temperature on gas sensing properties of thin SnSe2 layers exposed to reducing gas species, respectively CH4, CO and H2O, has been investigated. The sensor signal defined as the ratio between the electrical resistance in air and that in the test gas atmosphere has been used as monitoring parameter.

Keywords
