Porous materials used for humidity sensing have been commercialized. In this paper, the preparation and humidity sensing characteristics of porous silicon with P-N junctions (PNJPS) are studied. PNJPS is made by electro-chemical anodic etched method from silicon wafers with P-N junctions. Its porous structure is verified by scanning electronic micrograph. Experiments also show that PNJPS has high sensitivity, short response time (less than 30 seconds), and long-term stability.
