Abstract

A palladium (Pd) functionalized electrostatically formed nanowire (EFN) sensor, a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) based multi-gate transistor, has proven to be an ultra-sensitive platform for hydrogen (H2) sensing. This EFN includes a Pd- SiO2-Silicon, a metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) structure which is studied here in detail. We compare the EFN threshold voltage shift (VTH) due to H2 adsorption, to the calculated VTH due to dipoles placed at the Pd/SiO2 interface of the EFN device. We show that the potential drop at the Pd/SiO2 interface is responsible for the ultra-sensitive hydrogen sensing of the EFN.
