Abstract

A novel NHi-nitrided Schottky-diode hydrogen sensor has been successfully fabricated Measurements have been performed to investigate the sensitivity, stability and response speed of the sensor at different temperatures and hydrogen concentrations. It can respond to hydrogen variation very quickly and can give significant response ewn at low hydrogen concentration. The studied device exhibits high sensitivity of 350 % at 300 °C when 800 ppm IJ in N2 gas is introduced. The sensitivity is 15 times greater than that of the Pt-SiC sensor. The excellent hydrogen-sensing characteristics of this novel sensor make it very suitable for detecting hydrogen leakage in high-temperature environment. The effects of hydrogen adsorption on the barrier height and hydrogen reaction kinetics are also investigated.
