© 2016 IEEE. The paper reports upon the design and characterization of a resistive O2 sensor, which is fully CMOS-compatible and is based on an ultra-low-power Silicon on Insulator (SOI) micro-hotplate membrane. The microsensor employs SrTi0.4Fe0.6O2.8 (STFO60) as sensing layer. Thermo-Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) techniques have been used to assess the quality of both the sensing layer and STFO-SOI interface. At room temperature, the SOI sensor shows good sensitivity and fast response time (≤ 6 seconds) to O2 concentration ranging from 0% to 20% in a nitrogen atmosphere. This is the first experimental result showing the potential of this structure as O2 sensor.
