PS-7 Manual 13.2 Hot-wire Semiconductor Sensor In the hot-wire semiconductor method, a semiconductor sensor is designed to measure the change of electrical conductivity initiated by adsorption of the electrons of combustible gases onto the surface of a metal oxide semiconductor heated with a platinum filament. When the semiconductor adsorbs these electrons, the electron concentration increases and the conductivity of the semiconductor rises.
PS-7 Manual + +4e − Base metal electrode 2Pb→2Pb As a result, a current proportional to the concentration of oxygen in the air flows from the noble metal electrode to the base metal electrode through an external circuit. Since the current generated is dependent on temperature, a thermistor is used to compensate for the atmospheric temperature changes.
