사진식각법을 이용한 CO2 센서 감지막의 제조
Fabrication of CO2 Sensor Membrane by Photolithographic Method
초록
감광성 고분자를 감지막 재료로 한 FET(Field Effect Transistor)형 CO2 센서를 사진식각법으로 제작하였다. 즉, 바탕소자인 pH-ISFET gate 위에 먼저 Ag/AgCl 기준전극을 형성한 후, 수화젤(hydrogel)막 및 기체투과막의 순서로 감지막을 사진식각법으로 형성하였다. 광가교형 감광성 고분자 polyvinyl alcohol 또는 poly(vinyl pyrrolidinone-co-vinyl acetate)를 감지막의 재료로 할 경우에는 사진식각법으로 용매를 포함하는 일정두께의 수화젤막을 형성하는 것이 어려운 것으로 판단되었다. 광중합 감광성 고분자로서 2-hydroxy metha-crylate, acrylamide 단량체를 수화젤막 재료로, polyurethane acrylate oligomer를 기체투과막의 재료로써 사용할 경우 사진식각법으로 용이하게 막의 형성이 가능하였고, 제조된 FET형 CO2 sensor는 CO2 농도 10-3∼100 mole/ℓ에서 좋은 직선성을 나타내었다.
A FET(Field Effect Transistor) type dissolved CO2 sensor based on Severinghaus type CO2 sensor was fabricated by the photolithographic process. The sensor consists of Ag/AgCl reference electrode and membranes (hydrogel membrane and CO2 gas permeable membrane) on the pH-ISFET base chip. Ag/AgCl reference electrode was fabricated as follows. Ag layer was thermally evaporated and then its upper surface was chemically chloridized into the AgCl. The hydrogel used as an internal electrolyte solution was fabricated by a photolithographic method using 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate(HEMA) and acrylamide. CO2 permeable membrane on the top of the hydrogel layer was formed by photolithographic process with UV-oligomer. The FET type pCO2 sensor fabricated by photolithographic method showed good linearity within the concentration range of 10-3∼100mole/ℓ of dissolved CO2 in aqueous solution with high sensitivity.
