研究目的
To evaluate the humidity sensing performance of electrochemically made porous GaAs by studying its morphological, optical, luminescent, and electrical properties, and to analyze the influence of water vapor on its electrical properties using impedance spectroscopy.
研究成果
Porous GaAs demonstrates effective humidity sensing with changes in electrical properties upon water adsorption, attributed to reduced bulk resistivity and potential barrier height. It shows less degradation compared to porous silicon, making it a promising material for further investigation in sensor applications.
研究不足
The response and recovery times are relatively slow (around 8.0 min), and full recovery requires short heating; the study is limited to room temperature and specific etching conditions, with potential for optimization in pore size and layer thickness for improved performance.
