Description
Technical Field

[0002] Semiconductor gas sensors, as a crucial component of artificial intelligence sensing technology, have significantly expanded our ability to acquire gas information from the objective world, enabling us to effectively address the potential threats of colorless, odorless, toxic, harmful, flammable, and explosive gases. They also demonstrate immense application potential in medical fields such as respiratory diagnosis and olfactory disorder treatment. However, traditional semiconductor gas sensors suffer from limitations in gas identification, exhibiting broad-spectrum response but insufficient specificity. To address this issue, bio-inspired machine olfactory systems, such as electronic noses, have emerged. These systems employ a series of semiconductor gas sensors to mimic the olfactory receptor cells of mammals, combined with advanced pattern recognition algorithms, to achieve the identification of various gases.
[0003] Compared with the widely used machine vision technology, the development of electronic nose technology is relatively lagging. Although commercial electronic noses have been applied in the food industry and agriculture, their gas encoding capabilities are still affected by the cross-sensitivity of gas sensors, resulting in insufficient sensor specificity. This limits the application of electronic noses in high-precision and high-reliability gas identification and quantitative detection. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new gas identification encoding method to achieve intelligent identification of specific target gases. Existing semiconductor gas-sensitive devices have the characteristics of high gas detection sensitivity, fast response time, low manufacturing cost, and easy miniaturization, and are suitable for fabricating micro sensors. Therefore, they have become the focus of sensor research in recent years (Research progress of nanostructure thin film gas-sensitive sensors, Physics, 2014, 43(06):364-372.). However, usually one gas-sensitive material corresponds to multiple types of gases, and there are problems such as cross-sensitivity and insufficient specificity when detecting gases.

Therefore, the appearance of the phrase "in one embodiment;" throughout this specification, and similar language, may, but not necessarily, refer to the same embodiment.
[0040] This application discloses a specific gas encoding method based on a gas-sensitive field-effect transistor (FET), and its application in gas identification. The FET used in this specific gas encoding method can be a thin-film field-effect transistor (TFT), a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) device, or a high electron mobility transistor (HEMT). The gas-sensitive thin film in the TFT can be a quantum dot (e.g., colloidal quantum dot PbS), a two-dimensional material (e.g., two-dimensional MXene), or a metal oxide (e.g., cerium oxide, tungsten oxide, or tin oxide).

[0041] Figure 1This is a schematic diagram of a typical gas-sensitive field-effect transistor (FET) gas sensor. In this embodiment, it is a bottom-gate structure, using a semiconductor gas-sensitive thin film as both the channel active layer and the gas-sensitive layer. From bottom to top, it includes a substrate 1, a gate insulating layer 2, and a channel active layer 4. An active electrode 3 and a drain electrode 5 are also deposited on the channel active layer 4, with the source electrode 3 and drain electrode 5 located on opposite sides of the channel active layer 4. The channel active layer is fabricated using a semiconductor gas-sensitive material, and a gate electrode 6 is led out from one side of the substrate, thus forming a gas-sensitive field-effect transistor. The gas-sensitive field-effect transistor used in this application is not limited to the above structure; it can employ a channel sensitization method or a two-layer structure.
[0042] The gas identification method includes the following steps:
[0043] S11: Obtain the current-voltage characteristic curve and transfer characteristic curve of the calibration gas in the gas-sensitive field-effect transistor at a specific concentration;
[0044] S12: Based on the current-voltage characteristic curve and the transfer characteristic curve, obtain the different characteristic points (x,y) of the calibration gas in the two-dimensional space composed of the acceptor functional factor and the transfer functional factor;
[0045] Among them, receptor functional factors Conversion function factor
[0046] τ is the number of gas molecules. The surface potential change of the gas-sensitive thin film in the gas-sensitive field-effect transistor is given by n, where n is the number of gas molecules per unit volume, k0 is the Boltzmann constant, T is the Kelvin temperature, and m is the number of molecules per unit volume. gas Here, ΔI is the mass of a single gas molecule, S is the current change of the gas-sensitive field-effect transistor, e is the cross-sectional area of the channel through which the current flows in the gas-sensitive field-effect transistor, and e is the elementary charge.
[0047] Since the Kelvin temperature T and the cross-sectional area S of the channel through which the current flows in the gas-sensitive field-effect transistor are constant when the parameters of the temperature and gas-sensitive field-effect transistor remain unchanged; and since the distribution of feature points does not change under the condition that the horizontal and vertical coordinates are extended or compressed proportionally in two-dimensional space, the acceptor function factor x and the switching function factor y can still be simplified to: Conversion function factor Where b1 is a temperature-dependent constant, and b2 is a constant related to the electrode channel of the gas-sensitive field-effect transistor.
[0048] S2: Based on the different feature points, obtain the feature space of the calibration gas in the two-dimensional space;
[0049] S3: Obtain the feature points of the gas to be identified, and determine whether the gas to be detected is the calibration gas based on whether the feature points of the gas to be identified belong to the feature space.
[0050] Specifically, the change in surface potential of the gas-sensitive thin film in a gas-sensitive field-effect transistor. The calculation can be performed using the following steps:
[0051] First, the hole mobility of the gas-sensitive field-effect transistor is obtained. Among them, let C is the maximum slope of the linear region corresponding to the transfer characteristic curve of the calibration gas or the gas to be identified in a linear coordinate system. i It is the capacitance per unit area of the gate insulating layer (usually SiO2), V DS Source-drain voltage;
[0052] The conductivity σ of the gas-sensitive thin film is related to the carrier concentration p and mobility μ. p The relationship is as follows:
[0053] σ=peμ P
[0054] Furthermore, according to the formula Obtain the Fermi level change ΔE F p0 is the carrier concentration of the gas-sensitive film when the target gas is not introduced; k0 is the Boltzmann constant, taken as 1.38 × 10⁻⁶. -23 (J.K.) -1 T represents the Kelvin temperature (K).
[0055] Fermi level change (ΔE) F The change in carrier concentration of the gas-sensitive thin film depends on the change in gas concentration. Therefore, the change in surface potential of the gas-sensitive thin film can be further calculated. according to Can be established The equation relating conductivity and electrical conductivity was finally solved. Among them, a0 and These represent the maximum slope of the linear region corresponding to the transfer characteristic curve in the linear coordinate system and the conductivity of the gas-sensitive film, respectively, when reacting with a blank control gas (such as air, nitrogen, etc.).
[0056] The physical meaning of the receptor functional factor x is the change in surface potential of the gas-sensitive material per unit area caused by a single target gas molecule (τ) per unit time. It can be used to measure the charge transfer capability of the gas-solid interface; therefore Wherein, τ can be calculated based on Maxwell's velocity distribution function, as shown in the formula: Therefore, as long as the number of molecules of the target gas with a concentration of c ppm per unit volume is calculated... And knowing the mass m of a single gas molecule gas τ can then be measured, and thus, the following can be calculated: Avogadro's constant N A =6.02×10 -23 .
[0057] The conversion function factor γ represents the change in electron surface density in the conductive channel caused by the surface potential difference, and is used to measure the electron transduction capability of a gas sensor. The product of the two factors is the MCE (Molecular Conversion Efficiency), which is the ratio of the number of charge carriers collected by the gas sensor to the number of gas molecules it adsorbs; it is a constant under the condition that the gas concentration and type remain unchanged. ΔJ is the current density, which can be obtained by... It is deduced that ΔI is the current change of the gas-sensitive field-effect transistor, which can be obtained from the current-voltage characteristic curve, and S is the cross-sectional area of the channel material through which the current passes.
[0058] In some embodiments, when there are two or more calibration gases in step S1, there are also two or more corresponding feature spaces constructed in step S2, and they do not overlap with each other; in step S3, the gas to be detected is determined to be a calibration gas based on which feature space the feature points of the gas to be identified belong to / or do not belong to any feature space.
[0059] In other embodiments, the corresponding feature space can be found by constructing the circumscribed ellipse of the feature points.
[0060] This application also discloses a gas identification system applied to the above-mentioned gas identification method, including a feature point acquisition module, a feature space module, and a gas identification module;
[0061] The feature point acquisition module is used to obtain the feature points of the calibration gas in a two-dimensional coordinate system;
[0062] The feature space module obtains the feature space of the calibration gas in the two-dimensional coordinate system based on the different feature points;
[0063] The gas identification module is used to acquire the acceptor function factor and conversion function factor of the gas to be identified, and to determine whether the gas to be identified is the calibration gas.
[0064] The transistor-based gas information (concentration and type) encoding expression is a two-dimensional matrix w = {(x,y)} of the two factors mentioned above. To visualize the decoding process, the acquired encoding matrix is used to generate a three-dimensional gas space, where each gas can be identified by projecting its encoding onto this spatial map. With the diversification of semiconductor materials and the integration of transistor-type gas sensors, it is expected that a vast gas encoding database can be built. If the gas and encoding of a single gas-sensitive field-effect transistor gas sensor are difficult to match, integrating a larger number of gas-sensitive field-effect transistor gas sensors can improve differentiation and judgment.
[0065] Example 1: Encoding of NO2 and NO gases using a PbS colloidal quantum dot thin-film field-effect transistor gas sensor.
[0066] S11: The PbS colloidal quantum dot thin-film field-effect transistor used in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, it is a bottom-gate structure, which includes, from bottom to top, a substrate 1, a gate insulating layer 2, and a channel active layer 4. An active electrode 3 and a drain electrode 5 are also deposited on the channel active layer. The source electrode 3 and drain electrode 5 are located on opposite sides of the channel active layer 4, and a gate electrode 6 is led out from one side of the substrate. The semiconductor gas-sensitive thin film formed by PbS colloidal quantum dots through solution deposition serves simultaneously as the channel active layer and the gas-sensitive layer.
[0067] S12: NO2 and NO gas were diluted with nitrogen to different concentration gradients of 0 ppm, 0.2 ppm, 0.5 ppm, 1 ppm, 2 ppm, and 5 ppm, respectively, and the corresponding voltammetric and transfer characteristic curves were measured; among them, Figure 2 and Figure 3 The current-voltage characteristic curve and transfer characteristic curve of NO2 are shown below; Figure 4 and Figure 5 The figures show the current-voltage characteristic curve and the transfer characteristic curve of NO, respectively.
[0068] S13: Using semiconductor physics formulas, the conductivity ρ and hole mobility μ are extracted from the current-voltage characteristic curve and the transfer characteristic curve. p Carrier (hole) concentration p0, Fermi level change ΔE F Surface potential change The electrical parameters, such as the change in surface potential of the gas-sensitive thin film in the gas-sensitive field-effect transistor, and the cross-sectional area S of the gas-sensitive thin film through which the current passes are measured, are shown in Table 1.
[0069] Table 1. Calculation of electrical parameters of the sensor in Example 1 at different NO2 concentrations.
[0070]
[0071] The relevant semiconductor physics formulas and device parameters are as follows:
[0072]
[0073] R is the resistance of the PbS gas-sensitive film, ρ is the resistivity of the gas-sensitive film, L is the electrode spacing (also known as the channel length of the field-effect transistor, 10 μm), and W is the channel width (4.8 mm). The cross-sectional area through which current flows through the gas-sensitive film is:
[0074] S=Wd PbS
[0075] d PbS The thickness of the gas-sensitive thin film is 17 nm, as measured by the test. SiO2 This refers to the thickness of the gate insulating layer. Conductivity (σ) is inversely proportional to resistivity ρ.
[0076]
[0077] To calculate the surface potential change related to receptor functional factors From the formula It can be seen that the change in electric potential With ΔE F Related to; further by ΔE F Related to carrier concentration p; via σ = peμ p It can be seen that p is related to conductivity σ and mobility μ p Therefore, it is necessary to first determine σ and μ. p .
[0078] The formula for calculating the mobility of a thin-film transistor (TFT) is as follows:
[0079]
[0080] μ p It is hole mobility. It is the slope of the linear region corresponding to the transfer characteristic curve in the linear coordinate system (where the slope is the maximum value of the curve), C i It is the capacitance per unit area of the gate insulating layer (SiO2), V DS The source-drain voltage is given. The relationship between conductivity and carrier concentration and mobility is as follows:
[0081] σ=peμ p
[0082] p is the carrier (hole) concentration.
[0083] S14: Further, using the formula receptor functional factor Conversion function factor The receptor function factor and conversion function factor values corresponding to NO2 and NO atmospheres were calculated respectively, as shown in Table 2.

[0086]
[0087]
[0088] S2: Encode the different receptor functional factors and switching functional factors corresponding to the same gas in Table 2 into a two-dimensional matrix, and graphically represent them on the two-dimensional space composed of receptor functional factors and switching functional factors, such as... Figure 6-7 As shown; further, we distinguish the positions occupied by different gases in two-dimensional space by finding the circumscribed ellipse of the points corresponding to the two-dimensional matrix; for PbS colloidal quantum dots, the (x,y) values are higher in NO2 atmosphere at the same concentration than in NO atmosphere, which may be due to the higher reactivity of NO2 molecules. For example, at 1 ppm NOx, the x value of PbS CQDs TFT in NO2 atmosphere is almost 1.66 times that of NO, and the y value is almost 1.83 times that of NO.
[0089] S3: The type of gas to be tested is determined by judging whether the characteristic points (i.e., acceptor function factor and conversion function factor values) of the gas to be tested are located within the circumscribed ellipse corresponding to NO2 or NO, thereby realizing the identification of the gas to be tested; taking this embodiment as an example, when the characteristic points (x, y) of the gas to be tested are located within the circumscribed ellipse corresponding to NO2 or NO, the gas to be tested is identified. Figure 6 If the target gas is within the blue ellipse, then the gas to be tested is determined to be NO; if the target gas is within the characteristic point (x,y) determined by the same method in steps S11-S14, then the target gas is within the blue ellipse. Figure 7 If the gas is found to be within the red ellipse, then the gas to be tested is determined to be NO2.
[0090] Example 2
[0091] The same steps as described in Example 1 were repeated, except that the upper layer of the semiconductor gas-sensitive film was PbS colloidal quantum dots and the lower layer was MoS2, and the thickness of each layer was the same as that of the PbS colloidal quantum dots in Example 1.
[0092] Example 3
[0093] The same steps as in Example 1 were repeated, except that a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) field-effect transistor (MOSFET) was used instead of the PbS colloidal quantum dot thin-film MOSFET gas sensor of Example 1. The CMOS MOSFET was fabricated according to the method described in "MOSFET Based Different Structures for Sensor Applications: A Review" (2024 First International Conference on Electronics, Communication and Signal Processing, 08-10 August 2024). The structure of this CMOS MOSFET, from bottom to top, consists of semiconductor silicon, dielectric SiO2, and source, drain, and gate metal electrodes. A SnO2 gas-sensitive thin film was deposited at the gas-sensitive unit using a drop-coating process, thus constituting the CMOS MOSFET gas sensor.
[0094] Example 4
[0095] The same steps as in Example 1 were repeated, except that a high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) gas sensor was used instead of the PbS colloidal quantum dot thin-film field-effect transistor (FET) gas sensor in Example 1. The HEMT gas sensor was fabricated using the same method described in the literature "Quantum Dots-Sensitized High Electron Mobility Transistor (HEMT) for Sensitive NO2 Detection" (Chemosensors, 2023, 11(4):252). Its structure mainly includes a GaAs epitaxial layer, a control gate, a gas-sensitive thin film, an extended gate, a source, and a drain. The control gate and the extended gate are located horizontally, and a PbS quantum dot gas-sensitive thin film is deposited between the control gate and the extended gate, thus forming the PbS quantum dot HEMT gas sensor.
[0096] When repeating steps S1-S3 of Example 1 for Examples 2-4, similar effects as in Example 1 can be obtained.
[0097] This application uses PbS colloidal quantum dot thin film as an example to construct a field-effect transistor gas sensor as a gas-sensitive layer, ultimately enabling intelligent identification of NO2 and NO gases. By specifically designing gas-sensitive materials sensitive to other gases and using them as the gas-sensitive layer of the sensor, the intelligent identification of other target gases such as NO, H2S, and NH3 can also be achieved by replacing the gas-sensitive thin film material using the method provided in this application. At the gas-sensitive material level, the gas-sensitive characteristics of the gas-sensitive material can be changed by controlling the temperature, chemical synthesis ratio, doping, composite, and construction of heterojunctions during the gas-sensitive material synthesis process, thereby controlling the surface potential between the gas and the gas-sensitive material. This influences the receptor functional factor parameters. In the structural methods of gas-sensitive field-effect transistor devices, by adjusting the size of the channel electrodes and changing the dielectric material of the transistor, the cross-sectional area of the device channel and the output current parameters are optimized, thereby affecting the conversion functional factor parameters. Furthermore, by applying different source-drain voltages and gate voltages, more data and design freedom can be provided for encoding, potentially further improving the ability of gas sensors to identify gas types, accuracy, and concentration range, thus bringing more efficient and accurate technical support to the field of gas monitoring.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
