Cuprite (Cu2O) is an oxide-semiconductor with a direct band gap of 2.1 eV. It can be used for example as a sensor element for H2S-Gas exposure. For this purpose, thin films were deposited by RF-sputtering on c-sapphire and quartz-glass heated at 650 C to provide good film-quality. During the sputtering process different amounts of hydrogen were added, which have effects on the morphology. These sensors were aerated with a gasmixture of synthetic air and H2S. After exposure the material reacts to CuxS which has a significantly higher conductivity. It is found that the conductivity increase is due to percolation paths on the surface. This switching threshold is investigated dependent on the surface-morphology. Beside the samples were investigated by XRD-, SEM-, transmission- and Hall-measurements.
