On March 25, 2026, Przemysław Struk, DSc, Eng., Associate Professor at Silesian University of Technology, delivered a lecture entitled “Studies of the physical properties of sputter-deposited ZnO, ZnO/Pt and ZnO/Pd doped semiconductor thin films for sensor application.” The presentation took place in room 431 at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of the Silesian University of Technology.
During the presentation, the results of studies on the physical properties of wide bandgap semiconductor thin films—zinc oxide (ZnO)—as well as ZnO films doped with catalytically active noble metals, platinum (Pt) and palladium (Pd), were presented. The influence of doping on parameters critical for sensor applications was discussed, with particular emphasis on temperature sensor structures and sensors for detecting selected gaseous environments. The presented results constitute an extension and summary of the research published in the paper:
