ABSTRACT:
The application of MEMS technology for fabrication of gas sensor

reduces the size of sensor. It is important for gas sensors to have low power consumption. This

can be achieved with the combined usage of ceramic materials and additive technology. By this

the sensors can withstand high temperature (upto 6000C) and have chemical stability at high

temperature. Thus the disadvantages in traditional silicon technologies like limitations at high

temperature can be avoided. The conductive silver, gold and platinum nano particles(10-

30nm)inks usable in ink and aerosol jet printers and demonstrated the possibility to fabricate

narrow conductive lines of microheaters and electrodes of sensors (line with~35m). The

combination of jet printing onto thin ceramic substrate with laser cutting enables the fabrication

of advanced sensors operating in pulsing heating mode.
