A new and interesting Pt/AlGaN heterostructure field-effect transistor (HFET)-based ammonia gas sensor is fabricated and investigated. The related ammonia-sensing mechanisms, including direct dissociation of ammonia gas and triple-point model, are presented. Experimentally, the maximum transconductance variation Δgmand threshold voltage variation ΔVthare 16.63 mS/mm and 318.1 mV, respectively, upon exposing to a 10 000-ppm NH3/air gas. In addition, the maximum sensing response and rectification ratio of 113.4 and 2.1 × 103, respectively, are obtained when 10 000- and 35-ppm NH3/air gases are introduced. Therefore, the studied Pt/AlGaN HFET shows the promise for ammonia-gas-sensing applications.
