要旨

In this study, we propose a differential extended gate (DEG)-AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) sensor to detect ionic pollutants in solution. The DEG-AlGaN/GaN HEMT sensor consists of two extended gate sensing units, which combine the differential method with the extended gate structure. Ionic pollutant Fe3+ is used to test the feasibility of the device. Compared to the conventional AlGaN/GaN HEMT sensor, DEG-AlGaN/GaN HEMT sensors can effectively reduce the effect of noise factors and successfully improve the detection limit to 10 fM. At the same time, the DEG sensor shows that Fe3+ can be detected in a wide range of concentrations, varying from 10 fM to 100 μM, and it shows better linearity (R2 = 0.9955) than the conventional AlGaN/GaN HEMT sensor. These results demonstrate that the unique DEG design can overcome the drawbacks of the conventional AlGaN/GaN HEMT sensor, and significantly improve the overall performance of the AlGaN/GaN HEMT sensor. As a result, this novel sensor has the potential to be a real-time and high-performance test tool for environmental monitoring.

Analytical Methods welcomes early applications of new analytical and bioanalytical methods and technology demonstrating the potential for societal impact. We require that methods and technology reported in the journal are sufficiently innovative, robust, accurate, and compared to other available methods for the intended application. Developments with interdisciplinary approaches are particularly welcome. Systems should be proven with suitably complex and analytically challenging samples. We encourage developments within, but not limited to, the following technologies and applications: global health, point-of-care and molecular diagnostics biosensors and bioengineering drug development and pharmaceutical analysis applied microfluidics and nanotechnology omics studies, such as proteomics, metabolomics or glycomics environmental, agricultural and food science neuroscience biochemical and clinical analysis forensic analysis industrial process and method development
