研究目的
Investigating the gas sensing characteristics of the FET-type gas sensor with an inkjet-printed WS2 sensing layer for various target gases.
研究成果
The FET-type gas sensor with inkjet-printed WS2 sensing layer shows high selectivity for NO2 gas, with significant responses to NO2 and H2S but negligible responses to NH3 and CO2. The sensor's performance is attributed to the electron affinity of NO2, making it a promising candidate for gas sensing applications with potential for integration with CMOS technology.
研究不足
The gas sensor does not fully recover after each gas exposure cycle, indicating potential issues with reversibility. The study is limited to four target gases and may not generalize to other gases. The fabrication process is complex and requires specialized equipment.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study uses a pMOSFET-type sensor with a horizontal floating-gate (FG) interdigitated with control-gate (CG) to avoid contamination. WS2 nanoparticles are exfoliated and printed via inkjet printing as the sensing material. Gas sensing measurements are conducted at 100°C using a test chamber with mass flow controllers to mix gases.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
A 6-inch n-type Si wafer is used for device fabrication. WS2 micro-powders are purchased and exfoliated into nanoparticles. Target gases include NO2, H2S, NH3, and CO2 at concentrations from 5 to 10 ppm.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment includes an ultrasonicator (SONICS VCX-750), centrifuge (DAIHAN WiseSpin CF-10), Agilent B1500A semiconductor parameter analyzer, mass flow controllers, and a test chamber. Materials include WS2 micro-powders, NaPF6, DEGDME, DMF, IPA, and SU-8 photoresist.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Fabrication involves LOCOS process, gate oxide growth, poly-Si deposition for FG, passivation layer formation, metal electrode deposition, SU-8 patterning, inkjet printing of WS2, and annealing. Gas sensing measurements involve injecting gases into the chamber and monitoring drain current changes with the Agilent B1500A.
5:0A. Data Analysis Methods:
5. Data Analysis Methods: Responses are calculated using the formula S(%) = (|ID,gas - ID,air| / ID,air) * 100. Characterization includes SEM, Raman spectroscopy, and AFM for WS2 nanoparticles.
