We prepared Pd/boron doped amorphous carbon film/n-Si (Pd/B:a-C/n-Si) structure using direct current magnetron sputtering method. Capacitance-frequency curves of the as-prepared structure were investigated in air and hydrogen (H-2) at room temperature (RT). It is found that the Pd/B:a-C/n-Si structure exhibits excellent H-2 sensing properties such as high response (similar to 15%) and fast response time (similar to 170s) and recovery time (similar to 325s) for 100 ppm H-2 in air at RT. The influence of n-Si resistivity and deposition temperature was also investigated. The sensing mechanism of the Pd/B:a-C/n-Si structure has also been discussed. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V.
