Abstract

We are interested in the development of catalytic materials that are suitable for incorporation onto micromachined silicon gas sensors. The goal of the work is to explore methods to increase the activity and surface area of Pd and Pt catalysts. We employ sputtering techniques to fabricate catalytic layers with small grain size. In this paper, we study the catalytic properties of Pt/SiO2, Pd/SiO2, Pd/Al2O3, Pt/Al2O3, Pd/Au and Pt/Cr multilayer stacks formed by successive step-by-step deposition of ultra-thin films of the corresponding materials.
