Summary
A new metal-insulator-semiconductor structure (Pd-SiO2-GaAs) has been fabricated to make a hydrogen-sensitive device. At present, in a hydrogennitrogen mixture, a hydrogen concentration as low as 50 ppm has been detected. The long-term stability of the structure has been tested and found satisfactory.I/V curves of the diode measured in air and in hydrogen are shown and discussed. The authors want to thank M. Salvati and C. Flores for technical assistance.
