Embodiment
Below in the description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, for shown in different accompanying drawings and act on similar element and use same or analogous Reference numeral, wherein abandon being repeated in this description these elements.
Fig. 1 shows the principle of the gas sensing fet 100 that can be controlled by opertaing device 110 and arranges.This field effect transistor has air-sensitive grid 115, at these air-sensitive grid 115 places, can store or invade the gas composition 120 from gas or fluid mixture 125, the gas parameter that wherein will determine from this gas composition 120 by means of field effect transistor 100.Grid 120 is the channel region 135 by field effect transistor 110 by (air-sensitive) separation layer 130, and this channel region 135 is connected source connection terminal area 140 with the drain connection terminal area 145 of field effect transistor 100.
Opertaing device 110 comprises unit 150, and it prepares voltage to cause the specific physical state of the semiconductor material of channel region 135 for applying to grid 115.For example, as preparing voltage, can select following voltage: this voltage according to numerical value higher than being next applied to the voltage (detection voltage) on grid 115 in order to measure as measuring the electric current in the channel region of parameter.After applying to grid 115 to prepare voltage, for example can change-over switch 155, this switch 155 make now for detection of unit 160 can apply lower than the detection voltage of preparing voltage to grid 115.Alternately, for example, also unit 150 can be controlled and be, make to be applied to now voltage drop on grid 115 to detect voltage (or being enhanced) when symbol is contrary, so the switch 155 that does not wherein need setting then must be switched.Therefore after applying detection voltage to grid 115, can measure or detect measurement parameter 165, in this case pass through the electric current of the channel region between source connection terminal 140 and drain connection terminal 145 or the resistance between source connection terminal 140 and drain connection terminal 145, to this measurement parameter 165 is sent to for definite unit 170, in this unit 170, in the situation that use measuring parameter 165, determine aforementioned gas parameter 175.Especially can be in the situation that use detecting voltage repeatedly one after the other, for example periodically to grid, apply and prepare voltage and next detect and measure parameter.
Important background of the present invention is and then for constant sensor baseline this purpose, electric drift to be minimized after connecting transistor.The transistor with the interference position density of the raising in channel region 135 shows stronger drift behavior, at its run duration, changes operating point.By this, change, can not infer again actual measurement point, or because unpredictalbe change of working point draws other shortcomings.The possibility providing in the scheme of this proposition is to prevent the voltage drift in device.
The position of the moving iron in oxygen changes field or the characteristic that also can change in channel region, and therefore causes the change of working point.This effect also can be passed through proposed the present invention and improve.
In order to use chemically sensitive gas sensor, need operation strategy, to make the minimise stress on device.Scheme in this proposition provides adjusting parameter, utilizes described adjusting parameter and to match to applying of device (being field effect transistor) described strategy.
An importance of the present invention is dynamic operation, and gas sensitive device is not by constant voltage but moves with the operation strategy of definition.By utilizing the constant bias stress on (field effect) transistor, the defined state of the distribution saturated and moving iron thus of the realization that can be in operation (especially in channel region) interference position and thus constant operating point.At this, this device is in the operation of constant working point, but also in the situation that working voltage (prepare voltage and detect voltage) changes, in stress point or stress time section or setup time section, moves.In the scheme of this proposition, therefore utilize the effect of constant bias stress and realize constant state (especially at the channel region 135 for measurement parameter) to be in operation.
Next by the situation that further describe the working method in the principle of the scheme of this proposition with reference to the figure of figure 2.Reference in the figure, (on horizontal ordinate) t has not drawn the change curve that is applied to the voltage on grid 115 on ordinate in the same time.Connecting transistor 100(at connection moment t 1start initialization for determining the method for gas parameter) after, load prestress to before actual measurement or controlling run this transistor 100, at moment t 2with t 3between setup time section t 23in apply preparation voltage U to grid 115 vS.Possible " stress " (is for example the operating voltage U in ensuing detection time of section far beyond actual working point eS) to grid, apply high grid voltage U g, and do not apply drain voltage (being the voltage between source connection terminal and drain connection terminal).Although will there is no the flow through channel region of transistor 100(of electric current), this High-Field will be moved to electronics in grid and cause the saturated of oxygen abort situation.At setup time section t 23moment t during end 3, apply detection voltage U to grid 115 eS, and at section t detection time 34during this time, detect and measure parameter 165 to moment t 4, at this, be for example the electric current of process channel region 135 after applying voltage between 140Yu drain region, source region 145.Therefore by recognizing the effect of the electrical characteristics of 120 pairs of grids 115 of gas component or separation layer 130, can in unit 170, from gas parameter 175, determine and measure parameter 165.
This stress of transistor 100 (applies preparation voltage U to grid 115 vS) also can repeat at run duration, to again reset drift during working time.For this reason, for example can be at moment t 4after (being the finish time of section detection time), again carry out at (now shorter) setup time section t 45apply preparation voltage U to during this time grid 115 vSuntil moment t 5step because transistor 100 in first applies step in time period t 23in be ready, make only need to refresh now the expectation state of the semiconductor material in channel region 135.After this, can be then in another detecting step second detection time section t 56in again detect to measure parameter until t constantly 6, wherein from described measurement parameter, can again determine gas parameter 175 equally.By which, can be by preparing the transistorized repetition period, then detecting and measure parameter during long arbitrarily period, high-precision measurement or the detection that can measure parameter then can be determined gas parameter from described measurement parameter.
Alternately or in Another Application environment, for example, also can in the described one or more steps that apply, use and detect voltage U eSthe preparation voltage U with distinct symbols vS.Thus for example can be otherwise or with reference to the neutralisation of the effect of other interference position or other moving irons, optimize the channel region 135 of transistor 100, just look like that this can realize like that by using with the preparation voltage that detects voltage same-sign.At this, one or more setup time section can with selecting the similar or identical length of one or more preparation voltages when detecting the identical preparation voltage of voltage sign.But should guarantee: the absolute value of preparing voltage is always greater than the value that detects voltage, because can guarantee in this way: the interference electrical characteristics of the semiconductor material of channel region 135 are compensated by applying grid 115.Fig. 3 shows grid voltage U gthe principle figure of time changing curve, wherein using and the preparation voltage U that detects voltage U ES and have distinct symbols vSsituation get off and apply this grid voltage U to grid 115 g.
In other words, another possibility is, to transistor, applies negative stress, this negative stress by transistor 100 degree of depth be driven in accumulation.In the running status of accumulation, transistor 100 not conductings, but in raceway groove 135, exist and compare contrary charge carrier with Reversion.But described charge carrier also can cause the saturated of oxygen charge carrier.According to the interference position in oxygen, have more acceptor property or for body characteristics, can change different stress mechanisms.This situation of using the processing mode in negative bias (preparation voltage) situation that there is shown at Fig. 3.Stress field at high temperature can cause the displacement of the definition of the moving iron in oxygen equally.Can say by stress application voltage, device is just aging in advance before actual motion.
In addition, also can be for example in detecting step (in time period t 23during this time) measure or detect measurement parameter and measure 400 drift or interference position concentration later, this is exemplarily illustrated in the figure of Fig. 4.At this, according to the diagram of Fig. 3, use and detect voltage U eSthe preparation voltage U with distinct symbols vS.The result of this measurement then can be for determining that the grid 115 of giving that will carry out in following step applies preparation voltage, for example makes to be chosen as the effect to the drift behavior in this channel region 135 or interference position concentration of the semiconductor material that makes in can territory, compensated channel region 135 by preparing voltage.In this way, relaxation in the time of can identifying clearly the voltage drop of interference position concentration on being applied to grid 115 in detecting step, and can again according to current state, semiconductor material be brought into as quickly as possible again to the state of measuring parameter optimum for detecting.Measuring 400 drift/interference position concentration for example can be by voltage U gbe applied on grid 115 this voltage U gaccording to absolute value ratio, prepare voltage U vShigher (and have and prepare voltage U vSdifferent symbols).Can identify thus impact and measure the current interference position concentration of the drift of parameter.Then in response to measured drift or interference position concentration, can be at the second setup time section t in (second) applies step 45select during this time to prepare voltage, but this is current not shown in Fig. 4, because in this use and at the first setup time section t 23in first apply during identical preparation voltage U vSvalue.This is represented by Reference numeral 410 in Fig. 4.
Fig. 5 shows according to of the present invention for carry out the principle process flow diagram of embodiment of the method 500 of measurement gas parameter by means of gas sensing fet 100.For the embodiment of method 500 is shown, according to the processing mode shown in Fig. 4, use applying grid 115 for this reason.At this, in first step, start 510 method 500(for example at the moment of Fig. 1 t 1).In following step, carry out following steps: at setup time section t 23apply 520 preparation voltage U to during this time the grid of field effect transistor 100 vS(this applies step 520 and also can be called as to transistor and apply " prestress ").Then, in detecting step 520 detection time after setup time section immediately checkout area effect transistor during section source connection terminal and the measurement parameter between drain connection terminal, wherein during detecting measurement parameter, detection voltage is applied on grid, the absolute value that this detection voltage ratio is prepared voltage has less level value.In this step, field effect transistor is in the lower work of known operational mode (also claiming operation).If detect to measure now parameter in this detecting step 530, can be in ensuing determining step 535 using (from measuring parameter) measure parameter in the situation that to determine gas parameter.In another following step, measure the drift of 540 measurement parameters as state value 547, described measurement parameter especially represents the indication to the physical state of the semiconductor material in channel region 135.This measuring process 540 also can be understood as that another ensuing part that applies step 545.After measuring process 540, can in calculation procedure 540, calculate (new) preparation voltage U vS1, this prepares voltage U vS1for the ensuing step 520 that applies.Applying to grid 115, calculate the preparation voltage U of (may be changed) vS1after, now detect again and measure the step 530 of parameter and the step 535 of determining gas parameter from measure parameter.
Therefore, scheme described here has realized a kind of processing mode, wherein in the situation that (or afterwards) during operation (state) applies to grid 115 to prepare voltage, is again switched under stress mode and the drift of antagonism working point in short-term.
In addition, can be in order to adjust as far as possible the preparation voltage of coordinating with concrete applicable cases maybe this preparation voltage before calculating after more accurately controlling.In such scheme, there is another possibility, for example by means of other measuring methods, measure the drift producing, and calculate the stress signal that is applied to this drift from measured interference position.For this reason, for example can use known charge pumping method (Charge-Pumping-Verfahren) from semiconductor fabrication (may to change form).The charge pumping method method of its derivation (or from) therefore also can be for determining the starting point of the accumulation field effect transistor 100.But different from charge pumping method, this measuring method does not need the 4th connection terminal at transistor 100 places.
Use such scheme to make it possible to measure bandlet voltage at run duration, wherein this transistor can be controlled in accumulation by degree of depth earth pulse formula.This for example, is undertaken by temporarily applying negative voltage (in the transistorized situation of N-shaped).At this, if reach bandlet voltage, interference position is by charge reversal.Bandlet voltage should be understood as to the voltage applying from outside, this voltage induces minimum electric field in semiconductor.If then measure transistorized transfer curve 600(be illustrated on grid 115, execute in alive situation the characteristic curve of the electric current between source connection terminal 140 and drain connection terminal 145 with reference to drain connection terminal 145), can determine: whether interference position by charge reversal.Such transmission feature curve 600 of field effect transistor 100 has been shown in Fig. 6 A and 6B, wherein in order to determine transmission feature curve 600, first the voltage level of rising is applied on grid 115, to obtain first (rising) branch 610 of transmission feature curve 600, and then the voltage level of decline is applied on grid 115, to obtain second (decline) branch 620 of transmission feature curve 600.At this, the transmission feature curve 600 for the situation lower than bandlet voltage has been shown in Fig. 6 A, and in Fig. 6 B, has illustrated for the transmission feature curve that is not less than the situation of bandlet voltage.At this, the gradient of transmission feature curve 600 changes according to the voltage being applied on grid 115, the same hysteresis that forms the transmission feature curve of measuring between rising (branch 610) and decline (branch 620).At this, transmission feature curve 600 has been shown in Fig. 6 A, wherein the value of the electric current between source connection terminal 140 and drain connection terminal 145 in grid voltage rising situation exists between the value in grid voltage decline situation (respectively with reference to identical gate voltage values 640) with this electric current and large differs from 630, and this can infer the charge reversal of the interference position in the semiconductor material of channel region 135.Contrary only existence in the transmission feature curve 600 of Fig. 6 B in (equally respectively with reference to the identical grid voltage 640) situation that rises or decline at grid voltage through the little of the electric current of channel region differs from 630.Which by such scheme in this introduction, can determine: under the voltage at grid place, the charge reversal effect of the interference position in the semiconductor material in channel region no longer occurs, making no longer to expect when this voltage has measuring the disturbing effect of the detection of parameter.Therefore by which voltage to start to make this test of the effect neutralisation of interference position from, can determine working point or determine specifically and will or measure scene for measuring the detection voltage of parameter for current application scene, this detection voltage will be applied on grid during detection period.For example, to the analysis of this transmission feature curve 600, also can carry out to such an extent that the value on the transmission feature curve 610 that makes to rise surpasses threshold value with respect to the difference of the value on the transmission feature curve 620 declining, measure the drift of parameter excessive and therefore no longer can be tolerated.In this case, then can mate or change for detection of detection voltage, for example improve or reduce and detect voltage.By testing a plurality of negative voltages, can determine: when relevant voltage, whether surpass bandlet.In the situation that surpassing bandlet voltage, transmission curve moves specific voltage range.
The present invention can be for allly having the sensor of the based semiconductor of the device based on field effect, especially for the gas sensor with transistorized based semiconductor.
