The work function of tin oxide has been studied by the kelvin probe method as a function of the exposure to different gaseous species. Characterisation has been performed in dark and in presence of sub band and supra band gap light (Surface Photovoltage measurements). The light changes the response towards gases in particular at room temperature. The results foresee the possibility to improve semiconductor sensor selectivity by using monochromatic light at well defined frequency able to activate/deactivate surface states where species are adsorbed.
