Gate-refreshable nanowire chemical sensors

Fan, Zhiyong, Lu, Jia G.·2005·Applied Physics Letters

Abstract

ZnO nanowire field effect transistors were implemented as highly sensitive chemical sensors for detection of NO2 and NH3 at room temperature. Due to a Debye screening length comparable to the nanowire diameter, the electric field applied over the back gate electrode was found to significantly affect the sensitivity as it modulates the carrier concentration. A strong negative field was utilized to refresh the sensors by an electrodesorption mechanism. In addition, different chemisorbed species could be distinguished from the “refresh” threshold voltage and the temporal response of the conductance. These results demonstrated a refreshable field effect sensor with a potential gas identification function.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
