Summary: | The progress of the Internet of Things stimulates the development of sensors of small size and low power consumption. Miniaturized metal-oxide semiconductor (MOX) gas sensors (e.g. methane, hydrogen or carbon monoxide detection) can be integrated into agro-industrial facilities such as livestock facilities, fish farming, forestry, food-storage and horticulture, where they support future-oriented plant production (smart agriculture). The central part of a MOX gas sensor is a micro-hotplate, which is mainly responsible for the sensor power consumption at operating temperatures from 450 °C to 600 °C. Under harsh environmental conductions, ceramic materials are the best choice for the micro-hotplate substrate and sensor housing (ceramic MEMS) in combination with platinum metallization for the heater. To realize such gas sensors with low power consumption ( |
