Abstract

Gas sensors are used in environmental observing, industrial safety, disease diagnostics, & traffic safety. Toxic environmental pollutants & dangerous gas escapes from factories are two of their most common uses. gas sensors use a physical change, which in turn generates an electrical signal whose amplitude is directly proportionate to the gas concentration. There are various experimental techniques available to prepare metal oxide thin films and these are studied by different characterization techniques to understand their physical and chemical properties. In this paper, a detailed account of the method of preparation of Tin Oxide thin films has been discussed. This includes method of preparation of precursor solution, surfactants used etc., and a detailed description of the Chemical Spray Pyrolysis unit, which is used for the deposition of Metal Oxide thin films in the present work.
