Abstract
A semiconductor sensor, comprising a gas-sensing device and an integrated circuit electrically connected to the gas-sensing device, is provided. The gas-sensing device includes a substrate having a sensing area and an interconnection area in the vicinity of the sensing area, an inter-metal dielectric (IMD) layer formed above the substrate in the sensing area and in the interconnection area, and an interconnect structure formed in the interconnection area. The interconnect structure includes a tungsten layer buried in the IMD layer, wherein part of a top surface of the tungsten layer is exposed by at least a via. The interconnect structure further includes a platinum layer formed in said at least the via, wherein the platinum (Pt) layer directly contacts the top surface of the tungsten layer.
