The varied deposition conditions include glancing angle, vacuum level and deposition rate. The electrical property of In2O3 nanostructured thin films, demonstrated by the base resistance, change up to 3 orders of magnitude from 110 Omega to 103104 Omega depending on the porosity of nanocolumnar structure and oxygen vacancy concentration. This variation in electrical property transfers to the tuning of gas sensing response, and we achieve tuning the same material (In2O3) based gas sensors to better perform for specific type of gases (either oxidizing or reducing). The highest responses achieved in this work reached up to 176 for oxidizing gases (5 ppm NO2, R-gas/R-air) and 929 for reducing gases (50 ppm C2H5OH, R-air/R-gas). Therefore, we demonstrate that gas sensors can be optimized for specific type of target gases with the same material, via simple control of deposition conditions. Along with the high reproduciblility and sensitivity, this puts the nanocolumnar thin film based gas sensors by GLAD with huge potential for further miniaturization and mass production, suitable for the upcoming IoT era.
