Cuprous oxide is a famous p-type material which possesses a great potential in the gas sensing applications. In this paper, thin films and submicron-sized rods and trees of Cu2O were deposited on glass substrates from metallic Cu targets by tailoring the Ar/O-2 ratio during the sputtering process. The obtained samples are used to fabricate gas sensors. The H2S-sensing properties of the sensors at working temperatures from 100 degrees C to 300 degrees C are studied, in which the Cu2O tree-like sensor performed the best sensitivity comparing with the rest samples. A transformation from Cu2O to CuS is considered as the sensing mechanism of the sensors. Finally, influences of the morphologies onto the sensing properties are analyzed and compared.
