Abstract
Nano-sensors, nano-sensor array and methods of fabrication thereof are provided. A nano-sensor comprises a pair of sensing electrode assemblies aligned longitudinally along a first axis. Each sensing electrode assembly comprises an electrode strip coupled to a contact pad at a first end of the electrode strip. A sensing member is disposed between the pair of sensing electrode assemblies to detect, at a predetermined temperature, presence of a gaseous component. A thermally conductive layer is provided in contact with the sensing member. The nano-sensor comprises a heating assembly, comprising a heating strip disposed between and coupled to a pair of heating contact pads, aligned longitudinally along a second axis substantially perpendicular to the first axis. A portion of the heating strip is in contact with the thermally conductive layer to heat the sensing member through the thermally conductive layer.
