Abstract

This is the first time that hafnium oxynitride (HfOxN y) have been applied to hydrogen ion sensing technology. HfO xNy, and HfO2 were prepared in different ratio Ar/N2/O2 gas mixture by sputter with Hafnium target. The sensitivity for all samples could be improved for at least 3.3mV/pH by 12 hours R.O. water immersion. The optimized condition for HfOxN y-EIS was sputtering in the ambient of N2 ratio 10% and achieved highest sensitivity (56.64mV/pH) and lowest drift (1.42mV/hr) and hysteresis (1.7mV). This material and process could also improve membrane thermal stability and integrate easily with standard CMOS process.
