AbstractChloride ion concentration can be used as a biomarker for the level of pollen exposure in allergic asthma, chronic cough and airway acidification related to respiratory disease. AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) with an InN thin film in the gate region was used for real time detection of chloride ion detection. The InN thin film provided surface sites for reversible anion coordination. The sensor exhibited significant changes in channel conductance upon exposure to various concentrations of NaCl solutions. The sensor was tested over the range of 100 nM to 100 μM NaCl solutions. The effect of cations on the chloride ion detection was also studied.

AbstractThis study investigated the gate capacitance and off-state characteristics of 650-V enhancement-mode p-GaN gate AlGaN/GaN high-electron-mobility transistors after various degrees of gate stress bias. A significant change was observed in the on-state capacitance when the gate stress bias was greater than 6 V. The corresponding threshold voltage exhibited a positive shift at low gate stress and a negative shift when the gate stress was greater than 6 V, which agreed with the shift observation from the I–V measurement. Moreover, the off-state leakage current increased significantly after the gate stress exceeded 6 V during the off-state characterization although the devices could be biased up to 1000 V without breakdown. The increase in the off-state leakage current would lead to higher power loss.
