Abstract: | MOS and Schottky diode devices with various gate metals and semiconductor substrates were used as sensitive detectors of hydrogen and hydrocarbon based gases. MOS devices were fabricated on n-and p-type silicon substrates with the following gate metals and dielectric materials: Pd-SiO2, Pd-Ti-SiO2, Pt-SiO2, Ni-SiO2, Pd-Si3N4, Pd-Si3N4-SiO2 and Pt-Si3N4. In MOS devices with InP substrates, a Pd-Si3N4. device was tested. Also, Pdn type InP and Pd-GaAs were used as gaseous detectors in the Schottky barrier configuration. Detection capability of these devices was tested with H2, CH4, C2H4 and C4H10 gases. The characteristic parameters of these devices, such as sensitivity limits, adsorption and desorption time constants and linearity of time constants and linearity of response are given and a tentative detection mechanism is presented. |
