Abstract(in English) Basic H_2 gas-sensing characteristics of Pd Schottky diodes formed on the AlGaN/GaN heterostructure were investigated in vacuum. By introducing a novel surface control process to reduce reverse leakage currents, an unprecedented high H_2 sensitivity was achieved where 1 Torr hydrogen caused five orders of magnitude change of current. Surprisingly, the surface control process did not change the C-V characteristics which showed an unexpectedly large shift 1,000 mV on H_2 exposure. Transient waveforms were almost exponential for the logarithm of current, and response speed increased with increase of H_2 pressure and temperature. These results were explained in terms of Schokkty barrier height due to adsorption of atomic hydrogen generated by Pd, its influence on current transport mechanism and hydrogen storage in Pd.
