Abstract

We demonstrate micro hotplate (mu mathrm{HP}) to utilize gallium oxide with high stability and sensing performance at high temperatures as a sensing material. In order to enhance the lifetime and reduce the heat loss during high-temperature operation, a platinum electrode was embedded between two alumina thin films in a suspended bridge shape. The fabrication process involves no high-temperature process such as sintering, despite the use of ceramic materials, making it compatible with CMOS process. While the conventional silicon nitride-based mu mathrm{HP} damaged the platinum electrode within 5 seconds at 650°C, the alumina-based mu mathrm{HP} endured without failure for over 110 hours. The deposited gallium oxide thin film on the fabricated alumina mu mathrm{HP} successfully detected carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide at 650°C, showing that the developed sensor platform is suitable for high-temperature application such as exhaust gas detection.
