A new oxygen sensor based on resistance change caused by oxygen intercalation for the layered compound CuFeTe 2 (CFT) was developed.A microfabrication process for forming many fine pores on the surface of single-crystal CFT thin films by performing wet etching using photolithography was developed with the aim of reducing the response time of the oxygen sensor.A reproducible response of the fabricated samples to oxygen gas was confirmed when 20% oxygen gas and nitrogen gas were alternately introduced into the sample chamber.The microfabricated sample of the single-crystal CFT thin films showed a response time of 2.5 min to 20% oxygen gas, approximately 34% of that of the single-crystal CFT thin films without fine pores.
