摘要
AlGaN/GaN based diode sensors incorporating platinum nanonetworks for hydrogen sensing were demonstrated. Platinum nanonetworks with 2-3 nm diameter were synthesized by a simple solution phase method, and uniformly deposited on the semiconductor surface by spin-coating. The density of Pt nanonetworks was controlled by the number of the spin coating cycles. Selective-area deposition of the Pt nanonetworks was achieved by the standard photoresist lift-off technique. Compared to conventional Pt thin film diode sensors, the Pt nanonetwork sensor showed remarkably larger current change of 2.3 x 10(7)% at 1 V for 4% H-2 in N-2 exposure, which resulted from the larger effective barrier height reduction due to the increased surface area of the Pt nanonetworks.
