  • Publication number: 20210043761
    Abstract: A detector based on a gallium nitride-based enhancement-mode device and a manufacturing method thereof. The detector is a gas or solution detector. When the detector is used in electrolyte solution detection, electrolyte solution is located in the gate opening region and directly contacts the thin barrier layer to form a contact interface. The electrolyte solution affects interface charges at the contact interface, leading to a change in a concentration of the two-dimensional electron gas, and further a change in a current between the source and the drain. When the detector is used in a hydrogen-containing gas detection, the H concentration of the hydrogen-containing gas affects interface charges at the contact interface between the gate and the thin barrier layer, leading to a change in a concentration of the two-dimensional electron gas, and further a change in the current between the source and the drain.
