A Surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensor using a ZnO guiding layer on 36 degrees Y-cut X-propagation LiTaO3 piezoelectric substrate has been designed and fabricated. Single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT)-based nanocomposite coatings have been deposited using the Langmuir-Blodgett technique. The sensor was tested towards H-2, NH3, NO, gases, in the range of 0.030-1%, 30-1000 ppm, 1-10ppm, respectively. The output signal was the phase of the SAW device, which was monitored using a network analyzer. The developed sensor has a high sensitivity, good repeatability and low detection limit at sub-ppm levels, at room temperature. The experimental results obtained are compared to a theoretical model and the SAW gas sensing mechanisms are discussed with the acoustoelectric effect that appears to be dominant in the SAW response.
