Abstract

WO3 layers have been synthesized by thermal evaporation at high temperature in order to induce the crystallization of stable films. Phase stability has been proved by annealing treatments carried out at different temperatures. Annealing effects on gas sensing performances have been explained in terms of crystallinity degree and grain coarsening phenomena.
