Abstract

GaN/AlGaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMT) were used as a pH-sensors, employing a Wheat-stone bridge design in order to reduce parasitic effects on the sensor response. A Pt counter electrode was patterned directly on the sensor to achieve a more compact design and showed good operation characteristics. However, the signal stability was worse compared to an external counter electrode. In addition, we investigated the effect of different pH-sensitive gate layers, such as TiO2 and Ta2O5, as well as the compensation of temperature effects and light-induced drift in the Wheatstone design.
