Popis: In this article, the Pd-based mixture comprising silicon dioxide (SiO 2 ) is applied as sensing material for the InGaP/InGaAs field-effect transistor typed hydrogen sensor. After wet selectively etching the SiO 2 , the mixture is turned into Pd nanoparticles on an interlayer. Experimental results depict that hydrogen atoms trapped inside the mixture could effectively decrease the gate barrier height and increase the drain current due to the improved sensing properties when Pd nanoparticles were formed by wet etching method. The sensitivity of the gate forward current from air (the reference) to 9800 ppm hydrogen/air environment approaches the high value of 1674. Thus, the studied device shows a good potential for hydrogen sensor and integrated circuit applications.
