Popis: A novel HfO 2 thin film with SF 6 plasma treatment as ion selective membrane on electrolyte–insulator–semiconductor structure for pH-sensor was proposed. The sensing characteristics on hydrogen ion detection and the non-ideal effects including drift effect, hysteresis phenomenon, and responses on interference ions were all presented in this article. The results show that the slight increase of pH-sensitivity is achieved and the non-ideal effects are improved after SF 6 plasma treatment. It is finally concluded that the HfO 2 thin film with SF 6 plasma treatment as ion selective membrane is suitable for pH detection and the optimum condition is 5 min for SF 6 plasma treatment.
