The capacitance type gaseous sensing device (10) includes a first electrode layer (12) formed on a semiconductor substrate layer (14). A seed layer (16) is formed on the first electrode layer (12). A reorganized layer (18) is formed on the first electrode layer (12) through interaction with the seed layer (16) to form a porous sensing layer. A second electrode layer (20) is formed on the reorganized layer (18). The reorganized layer (18) absorbs gaseous elements that change the dielectric constant of the capacitance type sensor device (10). A change in the dielectric constant causes a change in the capacitance of the reorganized layer (18) as measured across the first electrode layer (12) and the second electrode layer (20).
