  • METHODS AND DEVICES FOR DETECTING UNSATURATED COMPOUNDS
    Publication number: 20160077048
    Abstract: An insulated-gate field-effect transistor comprising a semiconductor substrate, a source region, a drain region, where the source region is spaced apart from the drain region to thereby form a channel, and both the source region and the drain region are located at or near one surface of the substrate, a gate insulator deposited over said channel, and a gate electrode, said gate electrode including a material that demonstrates appreciable change in resistivity relative to the concentration of acetylene, where the gate electrode covers the gate insulator.
    Type: Application
