Abstract
- A metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET)-based gas sensor having a floating gate (FG) is fabricated and its sensing property is characterized. The gas sensor has 10 nm thick ZnO as a sensing layer prepared by atomic layer deposition (ALD). The FG, the sensing layer and the control gate (CG) are formed horizontally so that diverse sensing materials can be applied to the structure of the sensor without contamination. The gas-sensing performance of the sensor is investigated for seven target gases. Drain currents in NO 2 and H 2 S ambiences are changed by 176% and 58%, respectively, for given NO 2 (20 ppm) and H 2 S (20 ppm) concentrations. Whereas the changes of drain current for NH 3 , SO 2 , CO 2 , CH 4 and C 3 H 8 gases are less than 5%. Response and recovery times for NO 2 are 90 s and 580 s, respectively, at 180 °C. The responses with working temperature and gas concentration are also studied. The sensing mechanisms for NO 2 and H 2 S gases are explained. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
