Abstract

We demonstrate highly effective ambipolar Si-junction less nanowire transistors (JNTs) with a distinct dual reaction to oxidative pollutant NO2. DFT study reveals NO2 acts as an electron acceptor and produces holes; acting as pseudo dopant for Si JNTs; significantly altering different JNT parameters. Different Si-JNT characteristics showed dynamic change on both the p- and n-sides, i.e. dual response; of the ambipolar transistor devices upon exposure to NO2 in a wide mixing ratio (250 ppb-50 ppm). Additionally, we have improved the discrimination between different gases (NO2, NH3, SO2 and CH4) by using multivariate calibration.
