Abstract:

The effect of post-deposition annealing temperature on the pH sensitivity of room temperature RF sputtered +{\hbox{Ta}}-{2}{\hbox{O}}5 was investigated. Structural and morphological features of these films were analyzed before and after annealing at various temperatures. The deposited films are amorphous up to 600 +^{\circ}{\hbox{C}}+ and crystallize at 700 +^{\circ}{\hbox{C}}+ in an orthorhombic phase. Electrolyte-insulator- semiconductor (EIS) field effect based sensors with an amorphous +{\hbox{Ta}}-{2}{\hbox{O}}5 sensing layer showed pH sensitivity above 50 mV/pH. For sensors annealed above 200 +^{\circ}{\hbox{C}}+ pH sensitivity decreased with increasing temperature. Stabilized sensor response and maximum pH sensitivity was achieved after low temperature annealing at 200 +^{\circ}{\hbox{C}}+ , which is compatible with the use of polymeric substrates and application as sensitive layer in oxides TFT-based sensors. © 2005-2012 IEEE.
