Abstract

The use of AlGaN/GaN High Electron Mobility Transistor differential sensing diodes is shown to provide robust detection of 1% H₂ in air at 25°C. The active device in the differential pair is coated with 10 nm of Pt to enhance catalytic dissociation of molecular hydrogen, while the reference diode is coated with Ti/Au. The active diode in the pair shows an increase in forward current of several mA at a bias voltage of 2.5V when exposed to 1%H ₂ in air. The use of the differential pair removes false alarms due to ambient temperature variations. A wireless module is demonstrated to successfully detect hydrogen leakage.
