| Popis: |
Electrolyte-insulator-semiconductor (EIS) devices with programmable Sm 2 O 3 /Si 3 N 4 /SiO 2 and HfO 2 /gadolinium oxide nanocrystals (Gd 2 O 3 -NCs)/SiO 2 structures are demonstrated for pH detection. The proposed programmable EIS sensors with multiple sensing membranes exhibit a high pH sensitivity (larger than the ideal Nernst response, 59.16 mV/pH at 25 °C) owing to the hydrogen ions attraction by electrons trapped within the embedded trapping layers (Si 3 N 4 and Gd 2 O 3 -NCs) after programming. When compared with the conventional EIS devices, the programmable EIS sensors with programming provide the possibility for the small pH fluctuation detection and can be used in future pH sensor applications owing to its high pH sensing response. |
