The micro ammonia sensor consists of a sensing resistor and an ammonia sensing film. Polyaniline prepared by a chemical polymerization method was adopted as the ammonia sensing film. The fabrication of the ammonia sensor needs a post-process to etch the sacrificial layers and to expose the sensing resistor, and then the ammonia sensing film is coated on the sensing resistor. The ammonia sensor, which is of resistive type, changes its resistance when the sensing film adsorbs or desorbs ammonia gas. A readout circuit is employed to convert the resistance of the ammonia sensor into the voltage output. Experimental results show that the sensitivity of the ammonia sensor is about 0.88 mV\/ppm at room temperature<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s90200869","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,2,11]],"date-time":"2009-02-11T13:17:26Z","timestamp":1234358246000},"page":"869-880","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":61,"title":["Manufacture of a Polyaniline Nanofiber Ammonia Sensor Integrated with a Readout Circuit Using the CMOS-MEMS Technique"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Mao-Chen","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, National Chung Hsing University, Taichung, 402 Taiwan, ROC"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ching-Liang","family":"Dai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, National Chung Hsing University, Taichung, 402 Taiwan, ROC"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chih-Hua","family":"Chan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, National Chung Hsing University, Taichung, 402 Taiwan, ROC"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chyan-Chyi","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical and Electro-Mechanical Engineering, Tamkang University, Tamsui, 251 Taiwan, ROC"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,2,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"666","DOI":"10.1016\/j.snb.2004.11.054","article-title":"Ammonia sensors and their application-A review","volume":"107","author":"Timmer","year":"2005","journal-title":"Sens.
