Single molecule detection of volatile chemical compounds using integrated miniature avalanche gas ionization detector

US NSF grant open #nsf-2531826

Summary

Abstract Title: Ultrasensitive sensors for detecting gases at the single molecule level Gas sensing has a broad range of applications in environmental protection/monitoring, healthcare (such as breath analysis and body odor analysis), homeland security (explosive detection), agriculture, and industries (food, winery, and petroleum). Current gas sensors are limited by size, weight, sensitivity, and power consumption. The project aims to develop a miniature gas sensor that can detect gases at the single-molecule level. To achieve this, a semiconductor structure will be engineered to capture
