The traces of sub-ppm ammonia in the human breath is useful for the detection of the liver condition in humans. In this work, we have fabricated two InN based gas sensors of different thickness of the sensing film T 1 (40 nm) and T 2 (60 nm) respectively by RF-MOMBE. The current variation response of 2 ppm NH 3 gas on T 1 is approximately 10 fold higher than T 2 . The current variation response for 0.5 ppm on T 1 is 0.04%, while T 2 showed a negligible response. The change at the surface of InN epilayer will be more significant on the total conductivity of the thin layer as compared to the thick layer. Hence, the lower thickness of the InN epilayer has a higher response as compared to higher thickness. Therefore, lower thickness (40 nm) is suitable for the diagnosis of liver malfunction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
