Abstract:
The H
2-sensor was fabricated,based on AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistor(HEMT) device with a Pt-gate.The influence of the temperature and H
2-concentration on the response characteristics of the H
2-sensor,at a
VGS of -2.5 V,was investigated.The results show that the temperature and H
2-concentration had a major impact.To be specific,as the H
2-concentration increased from 25 to 900 ppm,depending linearly on the logarithm of H
2-concentration,the sensitivity increased by 14%;as the temperature increased from room temperature to 150℃,the sensitivity decreased,peaking at 25℃.The highest sensitivity of 65.9% was reached at 25℃ and 25 ppm.The temperature dependence of the sensitivity was theoretically modeled by modifying Langmuir adsorption isotherm and mathematically analyzed by data fitting.Possible mechanisms were also tentatively discussed in a thought provoking way.
