SnO2 functionalized AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistor for hydrogen sensing applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this study, we report on a demonstration of hydrogen sensing at low temperature using SnO2 functionalized AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMT). The SnO2 dispersion was synthesized via a hydrothermal method and selectively deposited on the gate region of a HEMT device through a photolithography process. The high electron sheet carrier concentration of nitride HEMTs provides an increased sensitivity relative to simple Schottky diodes fabricated on GaN layers. The morphology and crystalline properties of the SnO2-gate, together with the texture of the multilayer films on the device were investigated by SEM, HRTEM, EDS and XRD. The effects of annealing treatment on the crystalline properties of the SnO2-gate, and gas sensing properties of SnO2-gated HEMT sensors were studied. The SnO2-gated HEMT sensor showed fast and reversible hydrogen gas sensing response at low temperature. Copyright a 2012, Hydrogen Energy Publications, LLC. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights

AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistor (HEMT)-sensor with a catalytic Pt-gate is fabricated and tested for toxic H2S gas detection. AlGaN/GaN was chosen to extend the sensor detection range and to be able to operate at temperatures beyond those allowed by state-of-art Si-FET sensors. Testing was performed using a gas mixing apparatus in dry synthetic air ambient. High sensitivity, ΔI/I0, 8...
متن کاملOpen-Gated pH Sensor Fabricated on an Undoped-AlGaN/GaN HEMT Structure
The sensing responses in aqueous solution of an open-gated pH sensor fabricated on an AlGaN/GaN high-electron-mobility-transistor (HEMT) structure are investigated. Under air-exposed ambient conditions, the open-gated undoped AlGaN/GaN HEMT only shows the presence of a linear current region. This seems to show that very low Fermi level pinning by surface states exists in the undoped AlGaN/GaN s...

We study the concept of double-heterostructure quantum well (DHQW) InAlN/GaN/AlGaN high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) for higher device robustness and less degradation. Physics-based device simulation proves that the back barrier blocks the carrier injection into the device buffer. However, the energy of the injected electrons in the buffer is higher for any quantum well design in InAlN/G...
