  • ZnO NWAs were confirmed as single-crystal and oriented.
  • Sensor resistance increased monotonically with vacuum pressure.
  • Elevated temperatures (300°C) enhanced sensor stability and O(2) sensitivity.

    • Conclusions:

    • A practical vacuum pressure sensor based on ZnO NWAs was successfully fabricated.
    • The sensor utilizes the resistive depletion layer formed by adsorbed oxygen species on ZnO NWAs.
    • This ZnO NWA sensor offers a simpler, more cost-effective solution compared to conventional nanotechnology sensors.
