We have developed a Pd-functionalized hydrogen gas sensor based on a recessed AlGaN/GaN heterostructure field-effect transistor. The AlGaN barrier layer under the Pd catalyst was partially etched to enhance its sensitivity. Both low-power consumption and high sensitivity were achieved by employing a recessed structure. Sensor characterization was carried out at the temperature range from room temperature to 250 °C, among which the best sensing characteristics were observed at 200 °C. A sensitivity of 380% with a response time of 0.25 s was achieved at a bias voltage of 0.3 V at 200 °C under a hydrogen exposure concentration of 4%. The standby power consumption was only 2 μW for the sensing area of 100×28 μm2 due to the low standby current, which was caused by the recessed AlGaN barrier layer.

The development of the nanoelectronics semiconductor devices leads to the shrinking of transistors channel into nanometer dimension. However, there are obstacles that appear with downscaling of the transistors primarily various short-channel effects. Graphene nanoribbon field-effect transistor (GNRFET) is an emerging technology that can potentially solve the issues of the conventional planar MOSFET imposed by quantum mechanical (QM) effects. GNRFET can also be used as static random-access memory (SRAM) circuit design due to its remarkable electronic properties. For high-speed operation, SRAM cells are more reliable and faster to be effectively utilized as memory cache. The transistor sizing constraint affects conventional 6T SRAM in a trade-off in access and write stability. This paper investigates on the stability performance in retention, access, and write mode of 15 nm GNRFET-based 6T and 8T SRAM cells with that of 16 nm FinFET and 16 nm MOSFET. The design and simulation of the SRAM model are simulated in synopsys HSPICE. GNRFET, FinFET, and MOSFET 8T SRAM cells give better performance in static noise margin (SNM) and power consumption than 6T SRAM cells. The simulation results reveal that the GNRFET, FinFET, and MOSFET-based 8T SRAM cells improved access static noise margin considerably by 58.1%, 28%, and 20.5%, respectively, as well as average power consumption significantly by 97.27%, 99.05%, and 83.3%, respectively, to the GNRFET, FinFET, and MOSFET-based 6T SRAM design.
