ABSTRACT:
A capacitance type sensitive element comprises a pair of electrode pairs formed on an insulating substrate and having opposite electrode faces perpendicular or slantingly formed with respect to a face of the insulating substrate; and a sensing material disposed between the opposite electrode faces of the electrodes and having electrical characteristics changed on the basis of the physical or chemical interaction between the sensing material and a substance to be detected.
A method for manufacturing a capacitance type sensitive element comprises the steps of forming a groove on an insulating substrate; forming a metallic thin film having a predetermined thickness on the insulating substrate having the groove; performing the etching of a predetermined pattern in a portion including a bottom face portion of the groove in the metallic thin film, and forming a pair of electrodes; coating the entire surface of the pair of electrodes and the insulating substrate with a humidity sensitive material, and thereafter hardening the coated humidity sensitive material; and patterning the hardened humidity sensitive material.
A method for manufacturing a capacitance type sensitive element may comprise the steps of forming a metallic thin film having a predetermined thickness on an insulating substrate; patterning the metallic thin film and forming a pair of electrodes at a predetermined distance; coating the entire surface of the insulating substrate including a pair of electrodes with a humidity sensitive material, and thereafter hardening the coated humidity sensitive material; and patterning the hardened humidity sensitive material.
