NeSSI Micro-analytics Workshop May 4 th 2003 Exclusive license 96-C00333 from Sandia National Labs for patents # 5,279,795 (May 7,1996) Patent on two sensing technologies, a low concentration H-FET and a high concentration Chem-Resistor, giving a total concentration range from 50 ppm to 99.9%. Use of catalytic material Pd-Ni provides large range, minimal calibrations and hydrogen specificity. H2scan Technology
NeSSI Micro-analytics Workshop May 4 th 2003 H2scan Technology Pd readily catalyzes H 2 (molecular) into 2 H (atomic). The atomic hydrogen moves into the lattice of the Pd (alloy) film. An equilibrium hydrogen density is reached proportional to gas concentration.
NeSSI Micro-analytics Workshop May 4 th 2003 Hydrogen absorbed into the Pd alloy lattice changes the bulk resistivity. H2scan’s Hydrogen- Sensing Resistor (HRES) uses this property to measure Hydrogen from 0.5% to multiple atmospheres. i V H2scan Technology
NeSSI Micro-analytics Workshop May 4 th 2003 Hydrogen absorbed into the Pd alloy lattice changes the charge density at a dielectric interface. H2scan’s Hydrogen-Sensing Field-Effect Transistor (HFET) uses this property to measure Hydrogen from 50 ppm to 1%. + + H2scan Technology
