Abstract:
In this paper, we address the temperature dependences of sensing properties of a GaAs-based bipolar transistor with a metal-semiconductor-metal hydrogen-sensitive sensor. Experimental results reveal that (1) response times obtained from the sensing base and collector currents in 0.01% H2/N2 are 350 s and 400 s at 50oC; (2) Only a power consumption of 0.25 to 1.25 µW is required in a standby mode; and (3) the sensing collector current gain in 1% H2/N2 is increased from 900 at 25oC to 1910 at 50oC, then to 2010 at 80oC and finally to 2890 at 110oC.
