We have developed capacitive humidity sensors with highly gas permeable carbon nanotube top electrodes using solution techniques. The hydrophobic, porous carbon nanotube (CNT) network with polyimide as a binder was suitable for gas permeation, and the response of the capacitive humidity sensors was faster than that of the device with a 20-nm-thick Au top electrode. The capacitance change of the polymide capacitive humidity sensor with the printed CNT top electrode was almost proportional to the relative humidity and the capacitance was almost independent of the environmental temperature. The CNT electrodes strongly adhered to the partially fluorinated polyimide when CNT/polyimide nanocomposites were used as top electrodes. The response time was almost proportional to the square of the thickness of the polyimide dielectric layer, d, and the sensitivity was inversely proportional to d. The response time and sensitivity respectively decreased to less than 1 s and 1pF/%RH in the device with d less than 1 mu m. (C) 2016 The Japan Society of Applied Physics
