Abstract
Gas-sensitive GaAs-MESFETs with catalytic gates have been fabricated. Gas response of I-V output and transfer characteristics are discussed. Pd- and Pt-catalysed MESFETs show NO2 and NH3-sensitivity. There is n o cross sensitivity to H2O, CO, CO2 and CH4 below 100 degrees C operat ing temperatures. Possible sensor mechanisms are proposed.
