  • Corrosive substance detection using hydrophilic gel for improved corrosion exposure detection in electronic devices
    Patent number: 11619576
    Abstract: Techniques for corrosive substance detection for electronic devices are described herein. An aspect includes applying an electrical bias to a detector structure of a corrosive substance detector, wherein a layer of a hydrophilic gel is located over an electrode of the detector structure. Another aspect includes monitoring a resistance of the detector structure. Another aspect includes, based on determining that the resistance of the detector structure has dropped below a minimum resistance, indicating exposure to a corrosive substance by the corrosive substance detector.
