Semiconductor Device-Based Sensors for Gas, Chemical, and Biomedical Applications (Hardcover)

Sales of U.S. chemical sensors represent the largest segment of the multi-billion-dollar global sensor market, which includes instruments for chemical detection in gases and liquids, biosensors, and medical sensors. Although silicon-based devices have dominated the field, they are limited by their general inability to operate in harsh environments faced with factors such as high temperature and pressure.

Exploring how and why these instruments have become a major player, Semiconductor Device-Based Sensors for Gas, Chemical, and Biomedical Applications presents the latest research, including original theoretical and experimental work. It also explains how these investigations have translated into applications and products.

Written by experts in the field, the chapters review cutting-edge progress on semiconductor and nanomaterial-based sensors. An excellent introduction to the subject, this book is also an outstanding reference for those working on different sensor applications. It addresses various subfields, including:

• GaN-based sensor arrays for quick and reliable medical testing
• Optical sensors
• Wireless remote hydrogen sensing systems
• MOS-based, thin-film, and nanowire-based sensors

The wide-bandgap semiconductor sensors discussed in this book offer many advantages as replacements for silicon-based sensors, including their high chemical resistance, high-temperature operation, and blue and ultraviolet optoelectronic behaviors. Although assays exist for biomedical detection, they are limited by various factors. Nanomaterial devices, such as the sensors examined in this book, are currently the best option for moving toward fast, label-free, sensitive, and selective multiple-detection systems for biological and medical sensing applications. Providing sufficient background information and technical detail, this is an excellent resource for advanced level undergraduate and graduate students as well as researchers in gas, chemical, biological, and medical sensors.

美國化學感測器的銷售額佔全球數十億美元感測器市場的最大部分，該市場包括氣體和液體化學檢測儀器、生物感測器和醫療感測器。儘管基於矽的設備在這個領域佔主導地位，但它們受到高溫和高壓等惡劣環境的限制。

《基於半導體器件的氣體、化學和生物醫學應用感測器》探討了這些儀器如何成為主要參與者的原因和方式，並提供了最新的研究成果，包括原始的理論和實驗工作。它還解釋了這些研究如何轉化為應用和產品。

本書由該領域的專家撰寫，章節回顧了半導體和納米材料感測器的尖端進展。作為該主題的優秀入門書籍，本書也是從事不同感測器應用的人士的優秀參考資料。它涵蓋了各個子領域，包括：

- 用於快速可靠醫療測試的GaN基感測器陣列
- 光學感測器
- 無線遠程氫感測系統
- 基於MOS、薄膜和納米線的感測器

本書討論的寬禁帶半導體感測器相比基於矽的感測器具有許多優勢，包括高化學抗性、高溫操作以及藍光和紫外光電行為。儘管存在用於生物醫學檢測的測定方法，但它們受到各種因素的限制。像本書中所研究的感測器一樣，納米材料器件目前是實現快速、無標記、敏感和選擇性多重檢測系統的最佳選擇，用於生物和醫學感測應用。本書提供了足夠的背景信息和技術細節，是高級本科生、研究生以及從事氣體、化學、生物和醫學感測器研究的人士的優秀資源。
