Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a hydrogen sensor and a method for manufacturing the same, and more particularly, to a hydrogen sensor having a vertical nanogap structure, in which a nanogap is formed below a sensor portion to bring the sensor portion and an electrode into contact with each other when the sensor portion reacts with hydrogen, so as to allow the sensor portion to expand and contract freely without resistance on a substrate, thereby improving hydrogen sensing accuracy, and it is possible to form a precise nanogap with uniformity and reproducibility at a low cost and a method for manufacturing the same.
