Abstract [en]

The introduction of silicon carbide as the semiconductor in gas-sensitive field effect devices has disruptively improved this sensor platform extending the operation temperature to more than 600 °C with an increased number of detectable gases. Here, we review recent progress in research and applications, starting with transducer and detection mechanisms, presenting new material combinations as sensing layers for improved selectivity and detection limits down to subparts per billion. We describe how temperature cycled operation combined with advanced data evaluation enables one sensor to act as a sensor array thereby vastly improving selectivity. Field tests require advanced packaging, which is described, and examples of possible applications like selective detection of ammonia for urea injection control in diesel exhausts and toxic volatile organic compounds for indoor air quality monitoring and control are given.

Abstract [en]

Static and dynamic responses of a silicon carbide field-effect transistor gas sensor have been investigated at two different gate biases in several test gases. Especially the dynamic effects are gas dependent and can be used for gas identification. The addition of ultraviolet light reduces internal electrical relaxation effects, but also introduces new, temperature-dependent effects.

Abstract [en]

In this study,we focus on the plant bioelectric potential response as a low-cost and a high sensitivity evaluation technique of plant physiological activities for an agriculture support system. We developed a cultivation light intensity control system using bioelectric potential response. This system contributes to improvement of the cultivation environment and provides energy saving effect.In addition, we introduced a field effect transistor based on silicon carbide (SiC-FET)gas sensor and evaluated the characteristics of the sensor by changing several parameters. The results showed that iridium gated SiC-FET sensor has high sensitivity to ethylene,and the highest response is achieved at 200 ◦C. We aim at the development of an agriculture support system, which combines the plant bioelectrical potential and the SiC-FET gas sensor response.

Abstract [en]

Data from a silicon carbide based field-effect transistor were recorded over a period of nine days in a ventilated school room. For enhanced sensitivity and selectivity especially to formaldehyde, porous iridium on pulsed laser deposited tungsten trioxide was used as sensitive layer, in combination with temperature cycled operation and subsequent multivariate data processing techniques. The sensor signal was compared to reference measurements for formaldehyde concentration, CO2 concentration, temperature, and relative humidity. The results show a distinct pattern for the reference formaldehyde concentration, arising from the day/night cycle. Taking this into account, the projections of both principal component analysis and partial least squares regression lead to almost the same result concerning correlation to the reference. The sensor shows cross-sensitivity to an unidentified component of human activity, presumably breath, and, possibly, to other compounds appearing together with formaldehyde in indoor air. Nevertheless, the sensor is able to detect and partially quantify formaldehyde below 40 ppb with a correlation to the reference of 0.48 and negligible interference from ambient temperature or relative humidity.

Abstract [en]

Ruthenium(IV)oxide (RuO2) is a material used for various purposes. It acts as a catalytic agent in several reactions, for example oxidation of carbon monoxide. Furthermore, it is used as gate material in gas sensors. In this work theoretical and computational studies were made on adsorbed molecules on RuO2 (110) surface, in order to follow the chemistry on the molecular level. Density functional theory calculations of the reactions on the surface have been performed. The calculated reaction and activation energies have been used as input for thermodynamic and kinetics calculations. A surface phase diagram was calculated, presenting the equilibrium composition of the surface at different temperature and gas compositions. The kinetics results are in line with the experimental studies of gas sensors, where water has been produced on the surface, and hydrogen is found at the surface which is responsible for the sensor response.

Abstract [en]

In this work, WS2 nanowire-nanoflake hybrids are synthesized by the sulfurization of hydrothermally grown WO3 nanowires. The influence of temperature on the formation of products is optimized to grow WS2 nanowires covered with nanoflakes. Current-voltage and resistance-temperature measurements carried out on random networks of the nanostructures show nonlinear characteristics and negative temperature coefficient of resistance indicating that the hybrids are of semiconducting nature. Bottom gated field effect transistor structures based on random networks of the hybrids show only minor modulation of the channel conductance upon applied gate voltage, which indicates poor electrical transport between the nanowires in the random films. On the other hand, the photo response of channel current holds promise for cost-efficient solution process fabrication of photodetector devices working in the visible spectral range.

Abstract [en]

Gas sensitive metal/metal-oxide field effect transistors based on silicon carbide were used to study the sensor response to benzene (C6H6) at the low parts per billion (ppb) concentration range. A combination of iridium and tungsten trioxide was used to develop the sensing layer. Highsensitivity to 10 ppb C6H6 was demonstrated during several repeated measurements at a constant temperature from 180 to 300 °C. The sensor performance was studied also as a function of the electrical operating point of the device, i.e., linear, onset of saturation, and saturation mode. Measurements performed in saturation mode gave a sensor response up to 52 % higher than those performed in linear mode.
