Detection and Pattern Recognition of Chemical Warfare Agents by MOS-Based MEMS Gas Sensor Array by Mengxue Xu, Xiaochun Hu, Hongpeng Zhang, Ting Miao, Lan Ma, Jing Liang, Yuefeng Zhu, Haiyan Zhu, Zhenxing Cheng, Xuhui Sun

“…Herein, a sensor array consisting of 24 metal oxide semiconductor (MOS)-based MEMS sensors with good gas sensing performance, a simple device structure (0.9 mm × 0.9 mm), and low power consumption (<10 mW on average) was developed. The experimental results show that there are always several sensors among the 24 sensors that show good sensing performance in relation to each CWA, such as a relatively significant response, a broad detection range (AC: 5.8–89 ppm; GB: 0.04–0.47 ppm; GD: 0.06–4.7 ppm; VX: 9.978 × 10⁻⁴–1.101 × 10⁻³; HD: 0.61–4.9 ppm), and a low detection limit that is lower than the immediately dangerous for life and health (IDLH) level of the five CWAs. …”
