V. Filippov et al., OXYGEN EFFECT ON THE OPERATION OF THE MOS-STRUCTURE-BASED HYDROGEN SENSOR, Sensors and actuators. B, Chemical, 17(2), 1994, pp. 121-124
The influence of oxygen on the operation of hydrogen sensors based on
MOS devices (capacitor) with palladium and platinum electrodes has bee
n investigated. An effect of oxygen on the effective hydrogen sensitiv
ity energy and the flat-band voltage-change kinetics DELTAU(t) of the
sensor with a Pt gate has been detected. The dependence of the initial
rate of change of the flat-band voltage upon introduction of a gas mi
xture versus oxygen concentration has been obtained. A difference betw
een them for sensors based on Pt-SiO2-Si and Pd-SiO2-Si is observed at
a working temperature above 130-degrees-C.
