Abstract:

Conduction mechanisms in polycrystalline SnO2 thick sensing films were investigated by means of DC electrical resistance during heating-cooling cycles. Samples were maintained at relatively high temperatures in H2 or O2 ambient atmospheres before performing electrical measurements under vacuum or before performing XPS measurements in order to determine band bending. Results suggest that intergrains present Schottky barriers that are responsible for the observed conductivities regardless of gas pre-treatment. Oxygen diffusion modulates barrier widths affecting conductivity through tunneling transport. The electrical response to subsequent exposure to an oxygen atmosphere is consistent with our interpretation. © 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
