  • Patent number: 11933752
    Abstract: A gas sensor includes: a gas-sensitive body layer disposed above a substrate and including a metal oxide layer; a first electrode on the gas-sensitive body layer; and a second electrode on the gas-sensitive body layer, being apart from the first electrode by a gap. The gas-sensitive body layer has a resistance change characteristic that reversibly transitions to a high-resistance state and a low-resistance state on basis of a voltage applied across the first electrode and the second electrode. At least a part of the gas-sensitive body layer is exposed to the gap. The gas-sensitive body layer has a resistance that decreases when gas containing a hydrogen atom is in contact with the second electrode.

  • Patent number: 11631581
    Abstract: A technique for obtaining good film quality in forming a silicon-oxide-containing insulating film as a coating film on a substrate. A coating liquid containing polysilazane is applied to a wafer, a solvent in the coating liquid is volatilized, and then the coating film is irradiated with ultraviolet rays under a nitrogen atmosphere before performing a curing process. Thus, dangling bonds are likely to be formed at hydrolyzed portions in polysilazane. Since dangling bonds are formed in advance at portions in silicon to be hydrolyzed, productivity of hydroxyl groups is enhanced. That is, since an energy required for hydrolysis is reduced, the number of the portions remaining without being hydrolyzed is reduced even when the curing process is performed at a low temperature. Therefore, dehydration synthesis occurs efficiently, which increases a crosslinking rate and makes it possible to form a dense (good film quality) insulating film.
