Complementary Metal–Oxide–Semiconductor Compatible 2D Layered Film‐Based Gas Sensors by Floating‐Gate Coupling Effect

Abstract

A 2D SnSe 2 layered film-based gas detector incorporating a floating-gate device coupled with metal interconnect wiring structures is proposed and demonstrated for the first time. Linear amplification can be readily implemented using a coupling ratio design, which refers to the capacitance ratio between the gate and device in the sense amplifier circuits. A sensitivity of 102 mV ppm −1 can be obtained using the 2D SnSe 2 layered film with a thickness of 10 nm. The 2D SnSe 2 layered film-based complementary metal-oxidesemiconductor (CMOS) gas detector features highly sensitive, wide, and adjustable dynamic ranges with a real-time response of the sub-ppm detection limit on NO 2 gas. In addition, the synthesis process of the SnSe 2 layered film can occur at a low temperature and be operated at room temperature. Furthermore, 3 × 3 gas detector arrays with peripheral circuits demonstrate the functionality of multiple gas detection simultaneously and 16 × 16 arrays with a decoder and other peripheral circuits are constructed and simulated, providing the spatial distribution of the gas concentration in a specific region. The performance of the proposed detector is comparable to that of the other state-of-the-art gas sensors.

“…As a new gas monitoring technology, gas sensors are applied to dissolved gases in transformer oil decoration, industrial production, exhaust emissions, and other fields to monitor various toxic and harmful gases. , The gas sensor can intuitively display the information on the type, concentration, and flow rate of the target gas as the corresponding resistance or voltage value of the gas sensing material after the physical and chemical reaction with the measured gas. , According to the change of resistance or voltage caused by the physical and chemical reaction between the gas sensing material and the measured gas, the corresponding actual situation can be obtained by calculation so as to achieve the effect of monitoring, control, and early warning. Therefore, as the core component of gas sensors, the development of gas sensing materials is the key means to improving the performance, reducing the cost, and upgrading the technology of gas sensors.…”

Theoretical Validation of Non-Noble Cu Sites Integrated on SnO2 Nanoflowers for Enhanced Gas Sensing of Ethanethiol at Room Temperature

“…The layered nanomaterials have been examined as emerging building blocks for sensor manufacturing due to their atomically ultrathin structure and outstanding electrical properties. − The layered transition-metal chalcogenides, such as MoS 2 nanosheets, MoSe 2 layered nanomaterials, and SnS 2 nanoflowers, have been aggressively developed to enhance the functionality of room-temperature gas sensors. Nevertheless, owing to their relatively low charge-transfer capabilities, the sensitivities of gas sensor assembled under certain external conditions, such as illumination, remain constrained .…”
