Abstract

In manufacturing process of semiconductor, blue light emitting diode (LED), and lithium ion battery, detection and monitoring of trace water vapor (<1 μmol/mol) are significantly important techniques. We have been researching about detection of trace water vapor with high speed and sensitivity by using ball surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensor. In this paper, we tried to detect trace water vapor by coating silicon oxide (SiOx) on ball SAW sensor using solgel method. It was confirmed that SiOx-coated ball SAW sensor could detect water vapor in a wide range from 95 to 0°C in frost point (0.0356.0
