Hydrogen Response of Palladium Coated Suspended Gate Field Effect Transistor.

Abstract

A suspended metal gate field effect transistor was studied as a hydrogen sensor and the surface processes at an electrochemically deposited Pd layer on the gate were examined. It has been found that the time constant as well as the magnitude of the response depends on the operating conditions particularly on the presence of oxygen. If the device is tested in air the dynamic range spans logarithmically five decades of partial pressure of hydrogen.
