  • Abstract
    For enhancing hydrogen detecting ability, a high-performance hydrogen sensor based on a high electron mobility transistor structure by utilising a Pd/oxide/Al0.24Ga0.76As MOS structure is fabricated and investigated. At different temperatures, hydrogen-sensing characteristics of the studied device under steady- and transition-state with different concentration hydrogen gases are measured. Even at an extremely low hydrogen concentration of 4.3 ppm H2/air, the current modulation can be found significantly. Furthermore, in comparison with other FET-type hydrogen sensors, under 9970 ppm H2/air, the studied device exhibits a much shorter response time of 10.95 s.
