摘要： WO3 thin films were sputtered onto alumina substrates by DC facing-target magnetron sputtering. One sample was rapid-thermal-annealed (RTA) at 600 ℃ in a gas mixture of N2:O2=4:1, and as a comparison, another was conventionally thermal-annealed at 600 ℃ in air. The morphology of both was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM), and the crystallization structure and phase identification were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The NO2-sensing measurements were taken under LED light at room temperature. Sensitivity of the RTA-treated sample is high, up to nearly 100, whereas sensitivity of the conventionally thermal-annealed sample is about 5 under the same conditions. From the much better selectivity and response-recovery characteristics, it can be concluded that, compared to conventional thermal annealing, RTA has a greater effect on the NO2-sensing properties of WO3 thin films.
