Original Abstract

In this work electrochemical anodizing has been employed to synthesize, for the first time, a three-dimensional nanostructured column-like metal-oxide semiconductor film in which a change in the conductivity along the columns, assembled between the two parallel metal electrodes, is the controlling factor during chemisorption reactions when a gas penetrates such a film. To demonstrate the technology capability, several types of unique niobium-oxide-nanocolumn arrays have been synthesized via multistep anodic processing of an Al/Nb thin-film bilayer sputter-deposited onto oxidized Si substrates and additionally tailoring their parameters by combining chemical dissolution and high-temperature annealing. The films formation-structure-property relationship has been studied in pursuit of altering the film properties and discovering new functionalities for potential application to advanced micro and nanosensors
