Gallium Nitride (Gan) Based Gas Sensor Using Catalytic Metal
In this work, Pt, Pd, Ag and Ni were deposited on p type and n type of GaN and AIGaN as catalytic metals contact using sputtering system through meta! mask to detect N2, H2 and CH4 gases with different concentrations and different metal thicknesses with a range of SO-300nm. Samples were annealed...

| 總結: | In this work, Pt, Pd, Ag and Ni were deposited on p type and n type of GaN and AIGaN
as catalytic metals contact using sputtering system through meta! mask to detect N2,
H2 and CH4 gases with different concentrations and different metal thicknesses with a
range of SO-300nm. Samples were annealed at various temperatures from 500°C up to
1000°C for 5 min in argon prior to sensing charactersation. Special chamber was
designed and built to test the sensor capability. All samples were examined by
electrical characterization, using current-voltage (I-V) with temperature range from
25°C to 500°C. All samples were found capable of detecting gas at a broad
temperature range from 25°C to 500°C. The resistance of samples was measured with
different parameters such as thickness, annealing temperatures, gases, and
concentration of gases and operated temperatures. All resistance of the samples, time
response and recovery time were measured at different temperature range (25°C-
500°C). The annealing temperature plays an important role in the changes of
sensitivity due to changes of parameter such as distance between grains, outdiffusion
or indiffusion of metals, and formation of dipoles. The change in current increases with
measurement temperature and begins immediately upon introduction of the hydrogen.
Pt/n-AIGaN showed a good device selectivity and high sensitivity as hydrogen gas
sensor compared to Pt/p-GaN and PUn-GaN respectively. |
