The β-Ga 2 O 3 films for oxygen (O 2 ) gas sensors were prepared by the RF magnetron sputtering method. The effect of annealing time on the oxygen detection properties was evaluated. The films were annealed at 1000℃ with varying the annealing time from 2 to10h. It was found that sensing properties did not depend on the annealing time. The annealing temperature of 1000℃ is not high enough to vary the sensing properties. It means that Ga 2 O 3 films are stable and long life for high temperature

It was found that the oxygen gas sensor fabricated on a quartz substrate had shorter response time than that on a Si substrate.
