In this present work, was studied the effect of Cu concentration in tin dioxide thin films (SnO2) on their Sensitivity in the detection of ethanol vapor. These films were deposited on batches of silicon-platinum wafers (Si/Pt) at a synthesis temperature of 400°C using the pyrolytic spraying technique. In this work, the X-ray diffraction technique by crystals was used, verifying the presence of a characteristic cassiterite-type structure typical of SnO2; as well as the presence of Cu impurities due to the dopant in the films. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) images revealed a change in the shape of the grains, becoming triangular due to the presence of Cu, and also showed an increase in surface roughness. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra revealed that there are corresponding bands at 740 cm-1 and 625 cm-1 due to Sn-O-Sn and Cu-O bonds and these increase with dopant concentration. In the study of electrical resistivity, values of 1.237x10-1 Ω-cm and 3.803x10-1 Ω-cm were obtained for a Cu dopant concentration of 5% and 10%, presenting a reduction of 30% and an increase of 112 %, respectively, if they are compared with the electrical resistivity value of SnO2 of 1.792x10-1 Ω-cm. Regarding the effect of Cu concentration in SnO2 films on the sensitivity in the detection of ethanol vapor. It is concluded that as the Cu dopant concentration increases, the sensitivity and response time increase, with the SnO2:Cu (10%) film being the one that presented the best sensitivity value and gas detection time of 85% and 36 s., respectively.
